Conjunctival redness was evident at 1 h in all three rabbits which resolved by 24 h post test item application (TIA). Conjunctival chemosis was evident at 1 h in rabbit N° 1 which was resolved by 24 h post TIA. The individual animal mean eye irritation scores of the 24, 48 and 72 h post TIA observation were 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 for corneal opacity, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 for iris effects, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 for conjunctival redness and 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 for conjunctival chemosis for rabbit N° 1, 2 and 3, respectively.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Mean Eye Irritation Scores

The individual animal mean eye irritation scores observed for corneal opacity (0.00), iritis (0.00), conjunctival redness (0.00) and conjunctival chemosis (0.00) following grading at 24, 48 and 72 h post TIA.

 

Narrative Description of Eye Irritation

 

Treated Eye

At 1 h post TIA, the treated eyes revealed conjunctival redness [some blood vessels definitely hyperaemic (injected) in all three rabbits; score of 1] and conjunctival chemosis [some swelling above normal (includes nictitating membranes) in rabbit N° 1; score of 1].

At 24 h post TIA, the treated eyes of all three rabbits recovered completely and appeared normal throughout the experimental period.

Examination with fluorescein dye and cobalt blue filter [corneal epithelium damage showing as green fluorescein staining] revealed no (area) corneal epithelium damage in all three rabbits at 24 h post TIA.

Corneal opacity and Iritis were not observed in all three rabbits throughout the experimental period.

 

Control Eye

No abnormalities were detected in the control eye of each rabbit during the course of this study (Table 3). No corneal epithelium damage was observed during the examination with fluorescein dye and cobalt blue filter.

 

Clinical Observations other than Eye Irritation

Other than eye irritation, no signs of systemic toxicity including clinical observation and body weight were observed in the rabbits throughout the experimental period.

 

Interpretation of Results

Conjunctival redness was evident at 1 h in all three rabbits which resolved by 24 h post TIA. Conjunctival chemosis was evident at 1 h in rabbit N° 1 which was resolved by 24 h post TIA. The individual animal mean eye irritation scores of the 24, 48 and 72 h post TIA observation were 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 for corneal opacity, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 for iris effects, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 for conjunctival redness and 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 for conjunctival chemosis for rabbit N° 1, 2 and 3, respectively.

Based on the results of this study, an indication of the classification for DABQUEL COMPLEX CaL is as follows:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Examination with fluorescein dye and cobalt blue filter at 24 h post test item application revealed no corneal epithelium damage in all rabbits. Based on the results of this study, an indication of the classification for DABQUEL COMPLEX CaL is as follows:
Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS 2015): Not classified as an eye irritant
Executive summary:

In an acute eye irritation study, 3 adult male New Zealand White rabbits were given a single ocular application of 0.1 mL DABQUEL COMPLEX CaL in the right eye of the rabbit while the contralateral eye remained untreated and served as the control. Initially one rabbit was tested. Based on the results obtained at 24 h post Test Item Application (TIA), the irritation response was confirmed by testing two additional rabbits simultaneously. Observations were made at 1, 24, 48 and 72 h post TIA. General health status was also checked.

Conjunctival effects were evident at 1 h in all three rabbits which resolved by 24 h post TIA. The animal mean eye irritation scores of the 24, 48 and 72 h post TIA observation were 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 for corneal opacity, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 for iris effects, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 for conjunctival redness and 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 for conjunctival chemosis for rabbit N° 1, 2 and 3, respectively.

Examination with fluorescein dye and cobalt blue filter at 24 h post TIA revealed no corneal epithelium damage in all rabbits.

The control eye did not show any abnormal reaction during the study. Moreover, there were no signs of systemic toxicity in any animal observed.

Based on the results of this study, an indication of the classification for DABQUEL COMPLEX CaL is as follows:

Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS 2015): Not classified as an eye irritant
