Approximately 40 units of Cyclosporine Ophthalmic, a compounded eye medication for veterinary use, have been recalled because the sterility of the product could not be guaranteed. These products were produced at a compounding center and distributed in Florida and North Carolina. Because sterile products like eye drops must be free from contamination, the firm has voluntarily recalled all lot numbers currently within their expiration dates. Owners should contact their veterinarian or pharmacist immediately regarding alternative treatments for their animals.
Using a medication that is not sterile can introduce bacteria or other contaminants directly into a pet's eye, which may cause serious infections, irritation, or potential vision loss. While no specific illnesses or injuries have been reported in connection with this recall, the lack of sterility assurance poses a significant safety risk.
