Irritant / corrosive response data:
At the 1 h reading time point 2/3 rabbits displayed inflammation of the iris (grade 1 of max. 2). In addition, in all 3 animals conjunctival reddening (grade 1 or 2 of max. 3), chemosis (grade 1 of max. 4) and discharge (grade 2 of max. 3) were observed. At the 24 and 48 h reading time points, inflammation of the iris (grade 1) was still evident in animal #2, only. Conjunctival reddening was seen in animal #1 (grade 1) after 24 h and in animal #2 after 24 (grade 2), 48 (grade 2), and 72 h (grade 1). In animal #2 conjunctival chemosis as well as discharge were noted after 24 (grade 2) and 48 h (grade 1). Chemosis (grade 1) was still detected 72 h post administration. In animal #1 and #3 irritating effects were less pronounced than in animal #2 and fully reversible within 48 h. In animal #2 effects were fully reversible within 7 days.
Other effects:
No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed during the study.
