Bedford Pharmacy has recalled 3 units of Desmopressin 0.01% Ophtalmic Solution Sterile, a compounded medication used for dogs. The recall was initiated because there is a lack of assurance regarding the product's sterility, which means it may be contaminated with bacteria or other microorganisms. These eye drops were distributed in New Hampshire and were marked with a beyond-use date of September 14, 2015. Pet owners should contact their veterinarian or pharmacist immediately regarding this medication.
If an ophthalmic (eye) solution is not sterile, it can introduce bacteria or fungi directly into a dog's eye, which may cause serious infections or permanent vision loss. No specific injuries or infections have been reported to date, but the lack of sterility assurance poses a significant risk for veterinary patients.
