Medcare Pharmacy is recalling 5 units of Cyclosporin and Tacrolimus veterinary eye drops because they lack assurance of sterility. These medications are used to treat eye conditions in animals, but without guaranteed sterility, the products may contain harmful microorganisms. The affected products include Cyclosporin 1% in mineral oil, Cyclosporin 2% in corn oil, and Tacrolimus 0.02% drops sold primarily in North Carolina. Consumers should stop using these specific eye drops on their animals immediately and contact their veterinarian.
Using non-sterile eye drops can introduce bacteria or other contaminants directly into a pet's eye, potentially causing serious infections, inflammation, or permanent eye damage.
