Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
There were no deaths during the course of the study.
Clinical signs:
During the first 24 hours all test animals showed some decrease in actvity and piloerection.  No adverse effects were observed during the 14 day observation period.
Body weight:
The animals showed a gain in body  weight at all measurement points during the 14 day observation period.
Gross pathology:
The were no abnormal findings.
Other findings:
No potential target organs identified, no sex xpecific differences detected.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The rat oral LD50 for Lorol 8 was >5g/kg when applied as an aqueous suspension. Clinical signs of intoxication were confined to slight sedation and piloerection during the first 24 hours following dosing. There was no remarkable gross pathology at necrospy and no indication of specific target organ toxicity.
