This recall affects approximately 136,181 bottles of Leading Pharma Ciprofloxacin Ophthalmic Solution USP (0.3%), an antibiotic eye drop used to treat bacterial eye infections. The 5 mL bottles are being recalled because of a mechanical defect where the cap spike becomes stuck in the bottle's nozzle, making it impossible to dispense the medication. If you cannot get the solution out of the bottle, your infection may go untreated, potentially leading to worsening symptoms.
The defective container prevents the medication from being administered as prescribed. A delay or interruption in treating a bacterial eye infection can cause the condition to worsen, potentially leading to more severe ocular symptoms or complications.
