Irritant / corrosive response data:
Within one hour, the administration of the test substance resulted in marked hyperaemia of some blood vessels in all 3 animals. After 24-72 h, no further symptoms of irritation to the eye mucosae, cornea and iris were observed in any animal. Only the skin of the outer eyelids showed slight erythema after 24 h in all animals, which subsided after 48 h.
Other effects:
No further local or systemic effects were reported.
