Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test substance has slight irritaing effects when instilled into rabbit eyes. At the end of the observation period slight hyperemia in 2 animals was left.
Other effects:
All animals appeared active and healthy. Apart from the eye irritation noted in Table 1, there were no signs of systemic toxicity, adverse pharmacologic effects or abnormal behavior.
