PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION
4 Males and 4 females were used for the 14 days Preliminary
Examination. Any toxicological effects in the clinical
signs, body weight, food consumption, urinary findings,
hematological findings, blood chemical findings and weight
of organs was not observed in any animal at upto 2000
mg/kg/day groups.
At necropsy enlargement of cecum was observed in all animals
at 2000 mg/kg/day group.
