male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 6 400 mg/kg bw

No macroscopic anomalies.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute oral toxicity (LD50 14d) was above 6400 mg/kg bw. Although one female died at the highest dose level, no clinical signs and pathological changes were observed. It is supposed that the death occurred was not related to the treatment.
