I just replaced a paragraph in this article recommending that Visine should be used as a prank. Though this was noted as an urban legend in the Visine article, it was suggested here. Oral ingestion of tetrahydrolozine can be life-threatening, and this should be noted in any article containing a reference to it.EvilMrWizard 03:59, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Racemate OR one of the enantiomers?

Is this compound a racemate [50% (R)-stereoisomer + 50% (S)-stereoisomer] or the pure (R)-stereoisomer or the pure (S)-stereoisomer? Stereoisomers regulary have a different pharmacology and different pharmacokinetics [E. J. Ariëns: Stereochemistry, a basis for sophisticated nonsense in pharmacokinetics and clinical pharmacology, European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology 26 (1984) 663-668]. -- (talk) 20:27, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar

The grammar on this article is terrible. It needs to be completely rewritten.

FDA Drug Safety Communication: Serious adverse events from accidental ingestion by children of over-the-counter eye drops and nasal sprays

Popular culture item is impossible according to earlier Urban Legend section

The last item in the "Popular Culture" section describes an episode where eye drops containing this chemical are used to induce diarrhea in an inmate. However, an earlier section states that diarrhea is not a side effect of this chemical and that this is an Urban Legend. Should "Urban Legend" section be moved to after Popular Culture, or a reference be placed in this part of the Popular Culture section noting that this is exactly what was dispelled in the Urban Legend section?
