I have severe allergies during the fall season, but don't usually have a problem this time of year. However, this past week, my eyes have been itching severely..........enough that it is even affecting my ability to sleep at night. The past 2 nights I took benadryl for relief, but went to the health food store today for a remedy. I bought a homeopathic eye drop by Similasan, that is supposed to relieve the itching of eyes due to allergies. I don't know much about homeopathic remedies, but have used them on a number of occasions with fabulous results. The active ingredients are Apis HPUS 6X, Euphrasia HPUS 6X, Sabadilla HPUS 6X. My concern is in the inactive ingredients: Sodium chloride 0.9%, Sodium silver chloride complex 0.001% (as preservative), purified water.
Knowing what I know from this list..........silver compounds are what is the risk factor for argyria. What is "your" opinion on these eye drops that have sodium silver chloride? Is this such a minute amount that the risk is very low? I used them once before I read the ingredients (desperation) and they worked very well, however I have some concern about the NaCl, and would be much comforted by your knowledgeable opinions. Thanks for your time, Christiane
