Flumequine (Veterinary Medicinal Products).

Abstract

FSCJ conducted a risk assessment of an antimicrobial, flumequine (CAS No. 42835-25-6), based on reports of JECFA (Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives) and EMEA (European Medicines Agency) and other documents including the mechanism for liver tumor. Data used in the assessment include pharmacokinetics, acute toxicity, subacute toxicity, chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, genotoxicity, and microbiological effects. FSCJ specified the ADI of flumenquine as 0.071 mg/kg bw per day, that is the microbiological ADI calculated using the equation for VICH.
