The Pet Apothecary is recalling 618 bottles of various Tacrolimus and Cyclosporin eye drops and ointments used for pets. These medications were produced in non-sterile conditions, which can lead to contamination of the product. The affected medications include several concentrations of Tacrolimus MCT, Canola, AQ, and OO drops, as well as Cyclosporin OO and Canol drops distributed between October 6, 2017, and October 5, 2018. Consumers should immediately stop using these products and contact their veterinarian.
Applying non-sterile eye drops to a pet's eyes can introduce bacteria or other contaminants directly into the eye tissue, potentially causing serious infections, inflammation, or vision loss. No specific injuries have been reported in the provided data, but the lack of sterility poses a medium risk to animal health.
Contact healthcare provider or pharmacist and return product.
