FDC Limited is recalling approximately 176,784 bottles of Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic Solution USP, 0.5%, used to treat high pressure inside the eye. The recall affects 5mL and 10mL bottles distributed nationwide by Rising Pharmaceuticals because a defect in the bottle cap prevents the medication from being dispensed. Patients have reported that the spike inside the cap becomes lodged in the bottle nozzle, blocking the solution from coming out.
The defective container prevents patients from receiving their prescribed medication for managing eye pressure. This can lead to missed doses, which may result in worsening glaucoma or permanent vision loss if the condition is not properly controlled.
