Is visine (eye drops) poison if swallowed? what does the hospital do when they get a poison case like this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Poison Control Cntr: Er's consult with a national poison control center on how to handle cases like this. Visine has tetrahydrozoline, which can act as a stimulant. Oral consumption would lead to rapid absorption by the body. It could be especially toxic in children and low body weight individuals.
