19. Provide supplemental information here

O - Unclassifiable/unassessable Though would not expect generalized skin disorders after topical application, reported rubbing and restless may reflect paresthesia caused by permethrin. Reported partial anorexia is an unspecific sign and may have numerous causes. Red and inflamed gums are not expected after topical application of the product as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Other causes should be considered. Though time to onset is short, considering all aspects, a product connection is unassessable.
