JCB Laboratories is recalling 6,510 syringes of Cefuroxime (ophthalmic solution for injection), 10 mg/mL, 0.3 mL single-use syringes. This compounded medication is used in hospitals and medical offices for injection into the eye. The recall was issued because the drug may become sub-potent (weaker than intended) before its 90-day beyond use date. Because this product is for hospital and office use only, patients should contact their healthcare provider or pharmacist regarding any procedures involving this medication.
If the medication is sub-potent, it may not provide the full intended dose of antibiotic to the patient, potentially leading to ineffective treatment of infections during or after eye surgery.
Healthcare provider guidance and product return.
