Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results of the study, methyl proxitol was concluded as not irritating to semi-occluded rabbit skin. Mean scores for erythema and edema were 0 for all animals.
- Executive summary:
Skin irritation study of Methyl proxitol was evaluated in rabbits (3 males + 3 females) and no skin were observed from the application of undiluted methyl proxitol to rabbit skin, consequently the group mean 24, 48 and 72 hours scores for erythema and oedema were zero. Based on the results of the study, methyl proxitol was concluded as not irritating to semi-occluded rabbit skin.
