Une étude d’oncogénicité de 2 ans chez le rat a montré une augmentation de l'incidence chez la femelle des néoplasmes hépatiques et des polypes utérins et chez le mâle des adénomes thyroïdiens à la dose élevée de 25 mg/kg/jour. La dose sans effet tumorigène(5mg/kg/jour) détermine une exposition sanguine 25 fois supérieure à l'exposition humaine. Un étude d’oncogénicité à 2 ans chez la souris a entraîné une induction de tumeurs ovariennes bénignes à toutes les doses. 3, record 3, French, - oncog%C3%A9nicit%C3%A9
