Brief Answer:
Was with abundant water....That's all!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this accident with methoxtrexate into your eyes and all the inconveniences this must have caused you. Wash with abundant water under a flowing tap. This drug acts by stopping cells from multiplying and not by destroying existing cells. Therefore, there is no major risk to the eye simply because it got there. remember that when it is administered, it still finally gets to the eye through the blood stream. So, wash abundantly and be calm.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
