19. Provide supplemental information here

Reporting of occurrence over 11 years after last product application, occurrence of fatal outcome therefore not within close time of product application. In individual cases, dermal reactions at the application site are possible in animals that are particular sensitive. Death, however, is not expected after product application, as inconsistent with pharmacotoxicological product profile. Product has wide margin of safety. Oral LD50 in rat 642 mg / kg BW. 24-fold overdosage tolerated by cats without showing any side effect. The geriatric cat died of an unknown cause reported, but probably due to reasons of old age. Therefore a product relation is considered unlikely.
