More than meets the eye: a scoping review on the non-medical uses of THZ eye drops

This study recognizes that THZ can be used in non-medicinal and criminal uses. There is room for future research and development. More studies should be conducted to better understand the mechanism of action, therapeutic window, a nd toxicity levels among various age groups at different methods of intake and to find an effective treatment in case of overdose. Eyedrop and nasal decongestant bottles should be designed with child proofing to prevent incidental ingestion and should contain warning labels. A fast and alternative t est to GC/MS can be developed to ease the diagnosis of THZ toxicity. Purchases of this medication may need to be monitored.
