Frequently asked questions
- Is etidronic acid safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific hazard or mechanistic data identified. Dermal absorption for infants can be higher due to immature skin and higher surface-area-to-weight; although adult dermal absorption is expected to be negligible for this polar chelator, exposure score is increased by +1 for babies to reflect the higher potential per guidance. No data supporting increased developmental or reproductive hazard in infants.
