Additional information

The acute oral medial lethal dose is above 5000 mg/kg bw in female Hoe:WISKf(SPF71) rats. The kidney cortex was discoloured, but no other turquoise but no other clinical signs or effects were determined.

No local or systemic effects were noted in local irritation studies in rabbits. As the physico-chemical properties of the test item is indication of a poor dermal bioavailability, it is therefore deemed not scientifically justified to do an additional animal study for acute dermal toxic effects.
