Wanita di Arkansas, Amerika Syarikat didakwa meracun suaminya dengan ubat titis mata.
Memetik portal New York Post, Tina Glasco, 56, ditahan pada Rabu lalu selepas siasatan polis mendedahkan wanita itu menggunakan ubat titis mata Visine untuk meracun suaminya secara perlahan-lahan, menurut laporan KAIT-TV.
Glasco didakwa mencampurkan ubat titis mata itu ke dalam minuman suaminya selama empat hari.

Polis berjaya memperoleh rakaman perbualan semalam yang mendedahkan wanita itu merancang membunuh suaminya.
Akibat perbuatannya itu, Glasco ditahan di penjara kerana berdepan dakwaan cubaan membunuh.
Dia kemudian dikenakan ikat jamin berjumlah AS$100,000 (RM399,750).
Berdasarkan pusat perubatan Mount Sinai, tetrahydrozoline, bahan yang banyak digunakan dalam ubat titis mata boleh menyebabkan sawan, mata kabur, sukar bernafas dan koma, jika diminum.
Sementara itu, pengeluar Visine, Johnson & Johnson berkata, ubat titis mata tidak harus dimakan atau diminum.
"Menggunakan tetrahydrozoline (bahan aktif dalam Visine) di permukaan mata terbukti selamat digunakan selama lebih dari 50 tahun.
"Visine dilabel dengan jelas untuk penggunaan luaran saja dan tidak boleh ditelan," kata syarikat itu dalam satu kenyataan kepada Forbes.

I’ve reached out to Visine and Johnson & Johnson for comment on these cases. I will drop in updates here accordingly.
Eye drops like Visine, Murine Plus,and Clarine are marketed as ways for you to “get the red out” of your eyes. You can thank tetrahydrozoline for helping do this. Tetra-hi what? Tetrahydrozoline is a chemical that’s in many of these drops. It is a member of the imidazole family that can serve as decongestants and vasoconstrictors. “Vaso” stands for vessel as in blood vessel and “constrictor” means “make more narrow.” When blood vessels become more narrow, less blood can flow through them. Since blood is red, unless you are Vulcan, less blood may mean less redness.
To do their thing, such eye drops should go into your, you guessed it, eyes. Not your mouth or other orifices. Otherwise, they’d be called “other orifice drops.” They are also called drops and not buckets because you are only supposed to use limited amounts. Typically, correct use is no more than two drops in your eyes six times a day. If you stay within these limits, your risk of bad toxicity may be relatively low.
It’s a different story if eye drops go down your mouth. Your eyes may be bigger than your stomach, but these body parts are just not the same. That’s why you don’t typically eat your contact lens. Tetrahydrozoline can be absorbed through your gastrointestinal tract into your main blood circulation much more readily and then travel to your heart and central nervous system. There it can get the drop on you and slow your heart rate and lower your blood pressure to dangerous levels. It can also lead to a drop in body temperature, a coma, and, of course, death. |

As the two cases demonstrated, even relatively small amounts can be toxic. The smaller the body size, the less that’s needed to cause major problems and even be life threatening. So if you’ve got children or very small actors around, make sure that you keep eye drops safe and secure. You don’t want them putting even a few milliliters of the stuff into their mouths.
If you suspect someone has ingested tetrahydrozoline, do not try to make the person vomit it back up as that may actually increase their absorption of the chemical. Instead, loosen any tight clothing that they may be wearing, such as a belt, a necktie, skinny jeans, or a Black Widow’s costume. If needed, administer mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Call poison control and get emergency care as soon as possible. Oh, and even if the person’s eyes are red, don’t give him or her more eye drops.
In general, be careful about using such eye drops, even if they go where they are supposed to go. While they are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for over-the-counter use, avoid using such medications unless you really need them. All medications can have side effects. Stop using such eye drops and call your doctor if you experience any other eye symptoms such as pain, changes in vision, pupil dilation, or excessively watery eyes when you are not watching the movie The Notebook. Watch out for any symptoms that occur beyond your eyes including a headache, dizziness, anxiety, chest pain, shortness of breath, or irregular heartbeats.
Keep in mind that such eye drops primarily help with your appearance but do not necessarily address what’s actually causing the redness. Therefore, if you do have red eyes, don’t just use eye drops without first trying to figure out the cause. That can be like taking ibuprofen for pain caused by a harpoon stuck in you without first saying, “maybe, I should do something about this harpoon stuck in me.”
Sure, some causes of red eyes may be relatively benign. It could be from seasonal allergies, being tired, or smoking marijuana, for example. However, make sure that the redness is not from something more serious like a bad allergic reaction, an infection, glaucoma, or a harpoon. If the cause is not obvious or not minor, see your doctor as soon as possible, especially if there are accompanying symptoms such as loss of vision or the presence of a harpoon. For example, if the redness is actually blood gushing out of your eyeballs, don’t just put Visine on them. |
