Recalls for Eye Drops

Updated: Jan 21

Although there is plenty of reason to distrust the FDA and CDC, at least someone there seems to be doing their job during February and March 2023.

A recall was issued for EzriCare or Delsam Pharma’s Artificial Tears products, including ointments, due to drug-resistant strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria.

Also of concern, due to potential non-sterility, are six (6) lots of Apotex’s Brimonidine Tartrate Ophthalmic Solution 0.15% and two (2) lots of Pharmedica USA’s Purely Soothing 15% MSM Drops.
