FDC Limited is recalling approximately 155,232 bottles of Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic Solution USP, 0.5% (5mL bottles) because of a manufacturing defect in the container. The spike inside the bottle cap can become lodged in the nozzle, making it impossible for users to get the liquid medication out of the bottle. This recall affects products distributed by Rising Pharmaceuticals Inc.
The container defect prevents patients from dispensing their medication. If a patient is unable to use their prescribed eye drops, it could result in their eye condition remaining untreated, potentially leading to increased eye pressure or other related symptoms.
