Golden State Medical Supply Travoprost Eye Drops Recalled for Sterility Risk

Agency Publication Date: June 6, 2023

Summary

Golden State Medical Supply Inc. is recalling 1,920 bottles of Travoprost Ophthalmic Solution, USP (0.004%), a prescription eye drop used to treat high pressure inside the eye. The recall was initiated because the tamper-evident seal is missing on the outer packaging (secondary container), meaning the sterility of the medication cannot be guaranteed. No incidents or injuries related to this issue have been reported to date.

Risk

The lack of a tamper-evident seal on eye drops creates a risk that the product may have been contaminated. Using non-sterile ophthalmic solutions can lead to serious eye infections and potential vision loss.

What You Should Do

The recalled products are 2.5 mL and 5 mL bottles of Travoprost Ophthalmic Solution, USP (0.004%), packaged in cartons under the Golden State Medical Supply Inc. label.
