Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Fallon Wellness Pharmacy is recalling 16 bottles of its Cyclosporin 2% Ophthalmic Drops, a compounded eye medication for animals. The recall was initiated because the product lacks sterility assurance, which means the drops may be contaminated with bacteria or other microorganisms. These 15mL bottles were distributed to veterinary clinics or pet owners in New York and Florida. Pet owners should contact their veterinarian or pharmacist immediately regarding this recall and to obtain a safe replacement medication.

Risk

If an eye drop that is not sterile is used on an animal, it can cause serious eye infections that may lead to pain, inflammation, or potential vision loss. There is an increased risk because the product is applied directly to the sensitive tissues of the eye.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your animal's medication bottle to see if it is Cyclosporin 2% Ophthalmic Drops in a 15mL droptainer.
  2. Identify the specific lot by looking for Lot/Batch number 02242016@37 and a 'Beyond Use Date' of 5/24/16 on the label.
  3. Stop using the affected eye drops on your pet immediately to prevent the risk of infection.
  4. Contact your veterinarian or pharmacist to report that you have the recalled product and to discuss alternative treatment options.
  5. Return any unused portion of the medication to Fallon Wellness Pharmacy at 1057 Troy Schenectady Rd, Latham, New York, 12110-1002, or the place where you purchased it for a refund.
  6. For additional questions, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
