Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

practically nontoxic

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: OECD Guidelines

Conclusions:

"A single administration of the test article, Flutec PC6 to a group of 5 male and 5 female rats, produced no apparent clinical signs of toxicity or deaths in animals of either sex. Both the discriminating dose and the minimum lethal oral dose of the test article are considered to be in excess of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. ccording to criteria stated in guidelines, the test article, F~LUTEC PC6, would be considered not to have significant acute toxicity, under the conditions of this study.
