NOTES

Young male albino Wistar rats were used. 5 min after application the dose site was covered with an elastic adhesive bandage, small perforations were made in the bandage so the conditions were semi-occlusive. Ingestion of the test substance was prevented by a collar around the rats neck. After the exposure period of 4h the cover was removed and retained for analysis, the application site was cleaned 5 times using cotton swabs. After cleaning a fresh cover tape was applied to the O-ring. % absorbed was calculated from the amounts recovered in the urine and the faeces.
