Death
19. Provide supplemental information here
Reporting of occurrence approximately 7 years after product application thus occurrence of fatal outcome probably not within close time of product application. Nevertheless death is not expected as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile and experience. 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. Death occured on an unknown time after last product exposure, therefore chronology unknown. The cause of death of this geriatric cat is not described. However, no reaction on previous exposures. Overall, a product relation is deemed to be most unlikely.
