FDC Limited is recalling approximately 154,176 bottles of Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic Solution USP, 0.5% (5mL) because of a container defect. The spike inside the bottle cap can become lodged in the nozzle, making it impossible for the medication to be dispensed. If you use this medication to manage eye pressure, please contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist to arrange for a replacement, as the bottle may be unusable.
The defective cap spike can block the bottle's nozzle, preventing users from administering their prescribed eye drops. This could lead to a interruption in treatment for conditions like glaucoma, potentially resulting in increased eye pressure.
