SUN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES INC is recalling 37,400 cartons of Cequa (cyclosporine ophthalmic solution) 0.09%, a prescription eye drop used to treat dry eyes. The recall was initiated because the medication was found to be subpotent, meaning it may not contain the full strength of the active ingredient required to effectively treat your condition. This recall affects the 60-count boxes of single-use vials, specifically Lot 10007 with an expiration date of January 2022.
A subpotent drug may result in decreased effectiveness of the treatment. If the medication does not provide the intended therapeutic dose, the patient's dry eye symptoms may not be properly managed, potentially leading to continued discomfort or eye irritation.
Contact healthcare provider or pharmacist and return for refund.
