Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight erythema was observed in 2 of 3 animals 24 and 48 h after patch removal, which was fully reversible within 48 and 72 h, respectively. In the third animal no erythema was observed. No oedema occurred in any of the tested animals and no skin reactions were observed on the control sites of the animals treated with the vehicle alone.
Other effects:
All animals showed the expected increase in body weight. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The vehicle alone caused no skin reactions in any of the animals at any reading timepoint.
