This is easy to synthesize and very cheap.

It also has potentially irreversible side effects, namely retina damage.

Thankfully retina damage seems to only be from continual use. This is medication people have stayed on for decades. It seems pretty benign for just a few weeks, unlike many medications where the long term side effects can kick in after just months.
