Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

water

Details on oral exposure:

In the preliminary study, one female was dosed with 2000 mg/kg bw .In the main study, five males and five females were dosed with 2000 mg/kg bw. Animals were fasted 18 hour prior to treatment. The test substance was administered orally by gastric intubation using a metal catheter. The solutions were prepared immediately prior to dosing. A single dose was given at a volume of 10 mL/kg bw. The quantity was based on bodyweight at the time of dosing. Food was replaced three hours following dosing.

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

Five (additional female used in preliminary study).

Control animals:

no

Remarks:

not required

Details on study design:

The rats were observed at least twice daily for 7 days (preliminary study) or for 14 days (main study), after which they were sacrificed. Observations included changes in skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes, respiratory, circulatory, central and autonomous systems, somatomotor activity and behaviour patterns.
Body weights were recorded before administration, daily for the first three days, then weekly and prior to being sacrificed. Rats were sacrificed by carbon dioxide inhalation. The animals in the main study were subjected to necropsy. The necropsy included a revision of the intact animal and its superficial tissues, followed by observation of the cranial, thoracic and abdominal cavities in situ and after evisceration.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:

No mortality was observed. The female presented soft faeces on the day following treatment. No other clinical signs were noted. The animal showed normal body growth.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 5 based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

No deaths were observed in this study at the limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. Slightly soft faeces were noticeable on the day following treatment. No other clinical signs were noted. The substance is not classified for acute oral toxicity under CLP.

Executive summary:

An acute oral toxicity study with Betadet SHR was conducted using a fixed dose method. Wistar rats were dosed with 2000 mg/kg bw. A preliminary experiment comprising one female showed no mortality. Soft faeces were noted on the day following treatment. No other clinical signs were noted during the seven day observation period. A main experiment comprised five animals/sex. Soft faeces were noted on the day following treatment. There were no other clinical signs, mortality or post mortem observations. Body weight gain was normal. The overall conclusion of the study was that the test material showed no significant signs of toxicity. The substance is not classified for acute oral toxicity under CLP.
