Fass environmental information for Primperan (metoclopramide) from Sanofi (downloaded 2022-12-21).

Persistence: Ready degradability 0 % in 28 days Guideline: OECD 301F.

Bioaccumulation: "Log P = 2.667 (experimentally derived, method unknown, pH unknown)."

Toxicity: There are data for 3 trophic levels, most sensitive algae EC₅₀ 35 600 microg/L.

PEC/PNEC is based on sales data in Sweden in year 2019. PEC/PNEC = 0.00042 which gives the risk insignificant.
