Subchronic [RfD] Comments: Based on route to route extrapolation. The subchronic oral [RfD] was based on a reproduction study with exposures during days 6-18 of gestation.
Chronic [RfD] Comments: Based on route to route extrapolation. The chronic oral [RfD] was based on a reproduction study with exposures during days 6-18 of gestation.
General Comments: No pharmacokinetic data were provided to justify route to route extrapolation for the oral [RfD] values.
