Irritation parameter:
erythema score
Basis:

Time point:
other: 24 h
Score:

Reversibility:
fully reversible within: 48 h
Irritant / corrosive response data:
1 h after the application, very-slight erythema was observed at all three treated sites. The overall incidence and severity of irritation decreased with time. All animals were free from dermal irritation within 48 h.
Other effects:
Apart from the dermal irritation noted, all animals appeared active and healthy and with no other signs of gross toxicity, adverse pharmacologic effects or abnormal behavior.
