Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Midwest Compounders Pharmacy is recalling 1,001 units of several compounded veterinary eye drops, including Idoxuridine, Demecarium Bromide, and Cyclosporine-Corn Oil formulations. These prescription medications for animals may have been cross-contaminated with penicillin during the compounding process. These products were filled for patients between November 2014 and March 2015 and distributed in seven U.S. states.

Risk

If an animal with a penicillin allergy is treated with these eye drops, the cross-contamination could cause a severe allergic reaction. While no specific injuries were reported, the presence of penicillin in non-penicillin medications poses a significant health risk to sensitive animals.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your medication by checking the prescription label for the firm name 'Midwest Compounders Pharmacy' and the specific product name.
  2. Check Idoxuridine Drops 0.1% Ophthalmic (10-ml) for lot numbers 09012015@16 (Exp 4/14/2015) or 29012015@1 (Exp 4/17/2015) filled between 1/14/2015-3/20/2015.
  3. Check Demecarium Bromide 0.125% (5-ml) for lot 23122014@42 (Exp 6/9/2015) or Demecarium Bromide 0.25% (5-ml) for lots 21112014@11 (Exp 5/20/2015) and 05012015@1 (Exp 8/1/2015).
  4. Check Cyclosporine-Corn Oil 2% (10-ml) for lots 22012015@15 (Exp 8/8/2015) and 05012015@17 (Exp 7/4/2015), or Cyclosporine-Corn Oil 1% (10-ml) for lots 24022015@19, 22012015@14, 14012015@1, and 09022015@13.
  5. Immediately stop using the eye drops on your pet if they match the affected lot numbers and dates.
  6. Contact your veterinarian or pharmacist for guidance on alternative treatments and to report any adverse reactions your pet may have experienced.
  7. Return any unused portions of the medication to Midwest Compounders Pharmacy at 13330 Santa Fe Trail Dr, Lenexa, KS 66215 for a refund and contact them for further disposal instructions.
  8. For additional questions, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
