19. Provide supplemental information here
O - Unclassifiable/unassessable
Off label use- unauthorised dosage -other (partial pipette used). Death is not expected after product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. No signs of allergy/anaphylactic reaction reported. Product has wide margin of safety. Oral LD50 in rat is 642 mg/kg BW. 24-fold overdosage tolerated by cats without showing any side effect. Time to onset is short. However reliability of data is questionable due to limited information (animal details, medical history, chronology, necropsy not available). Other etiologies should be considered. Overall, a product involvement is deemed to be unassessbale.
