What are the risks of putting Visine in my dog's eyes?
The biggest risk is that you’re trying to treat a symptom of a disease that should be diagnosed. Red eyes in dogs can be caused by infections and allergies, but also by corneal ulcers, uveitis, glaucoma, and keratoconjunctivitis sicca, among other things. Those are serious conditions that will not be helped much by Visine.
What are the effects of Visine if ingested?
As with most things in medicine, it depends on how much you ingest.Original Visene contains 0.05% Tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride. A full 15 milliliter bottle would contain 750 milligrams of the tetrahydrozoline. The MSDS sheets I found on the ‘net indicate a LD50 for mice of around 345 mg/Kg (The Lethal Dose 50% quantity is the amount of chemical which will kill half of the test animals it is administered to).The three MSDS sheets I found don’t indicate what dosages of the drug start to produce adverse side effects in humans. Extrapolating from rodents to humans is not always applicable. An entire bottle probably wouldn’t kill a typical 50 Kg man, but might very well make him sick.One MSDS states: Potential Acute Health Effects: Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant, permeator), of eye contact (irritant), more hazardous in accidental ingestion. Overdoses after ingestion or absorption through skin or mucous membrane may cause change blood pressure, irregular or rapid heart rate, vomiting, diarrhea, delirium, convulsions, and coma.The manufacturer’s labeled side effects include:Lowering body temperature to dangerous levels Making breathing difficult, or even halting it entirely Blurring vision Causing nausea and vomiting Elevating and then dropping blood pressure Causing seizures or tremors Sending the ingester into a comaPfizer's cautions to users of Visine include, 'If swallowed, getmedical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.' In viewof the above list, that advice should not be taken lightly."Nearly everything that you put into your eyes get swallowed eventually, if it doesn’t run down your face or get absorbed directly into the bloodstream. Deliberately poisoning someone with it would be unwise, cruel and illegal.
