P501
From an LD50 value of 1520 mg/kg bw for rats (RTECS (2010), original literature: Gekkan Yakuji. Pharmaceuticals Monthly. 24, 2331, 1982) with confirmation of the description in the original literature, it was classified in Category 4.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - No data.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - "Solids" according to GHS definition.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible - - - No data.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - No data.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Classification not possible - - - No data.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - No data.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - No data.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - No data.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - No data.
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - No data.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - No data.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - Lack of data.
Besides, a package insert of this substance used as medical antitussive states that it is not narcotic, not centrally acting, respiratory center stimulating, not analgesic and sedative, no tolerance and dependency formed (Manufacturer's package insert (2004)).
Furthermore, it is regarded as "not applicable" to serious adverse effects and sleepiness, headache, heavy headedness, nausea, anorexia, constipation, and so on are listed as adverse effects with a frequency of 0.1 % to less than 5 % (Pharmaceutical Interview Forms (2005)).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - Lack of data.
Besides, a package insert of this substance used as medical antitussive states that it is not narcotic, not centrally acting, respiratory center stimulating, not analgesic and sedative, no tolerance and dependency formed (Manufacturer's package insert (2004)).
Furthermore, it is regarded as "not applicable" to serious adverse effects and sleepiness, headache, heavy headedness, nausea, anorexia, constipation, and so on are listed as adverse effects with a frequency of 0.1 % to less than 5 % (Pharmaceutical Interview Forms (2005)).
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - No data.
