Summary

Somerset Therapeutics LLC is recalling approximately 5,870 bottles of Atropine Sulfate Ophthalmic Solution (USP 1%, 5 mL). This voluntary recall was issued because the product failed to meet quality specifications for impurities and degradation during testing. This prescription medication is primarily used to dilate the pupil or treat inflammatory conditions of the eye.

Risk

The failure to meet impurities and degradation specifications means the medication may contain substances formed as the drug breaks down, which can reduce the treatment's effectiveness or cause unexpected side effects. While the manufacturer considers the risk level to be low, using degraded medication may compromise patient care.
