Death
19. Provide supplemental information here
Pruritus on other than the application site is not anticipated with topical product administration. If any, skin reactions would be localized at the application site. The information regarding the death of the dog was casually provided during an inquiry. The level of information is very low. Nevertheless death is inconsistent with pharmacotoxicological product profile and experience. Product has wide margin of safety. The oral LD50 in rat is 642 mg/kg BW. 20-fold overdosage tolerated by dogs without showing any side effect. Further the animal was geriatric. Though some information is missing (medical history, time to onset, necropsy report), considering known safety product profile, a product connection deemed to be unlikely.
