Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortality occurred.
Clinical signs:
other: No systemic clinical signs were observed during clinical examination. Due to the turquoise discoloration of the application area readings of skin redness could not be determined on study day 1 and 2 in all male animals and from study day 1 until study da
Gross pathology:
No macroscopic pathologic abnormalities were noted in the animals (5 males and 5 females) examined on the last day of observation.
