Irritant / corrosive response data:
One hour after application, redness (grade 1/2) was visible in two animals, and chemosis (grade 1) of the conjunctivae was additionally visible in one animal. No corneal lesions were found upon fluorescein examination at 72 hours. There were no signs of irritation at 24, 48 and 72 hours.
Other effects:
No other clinical signs of toxicity were reported.
