Wedgewood Village Pharmacy, Inc.: Cyclosporine 0.2% Ophthalmic Solution Recalled for Sterility Failure

Agency Publication Date: October 31, 2016

Summary

Wedgewood Pharmacy is recalling 62 units of Cyclosporine 0.2% in Corn Oil Ophthalmic Solution (15 ml Drop-Tainers), a compounded veterinary medication used for eye conditions in animals. This recall was initiated because a sterility sample failed to meet required specifications, meaning the product may be contaminated with microbes. This affected medication was distributed nationwide and is identified by lot number 000-00731315 with a beyond-use date of February 12, 2017.

Risk

A failure in sterility testing means the eye drops could contain harmful bacteria or fungi. Using non-sterile medication in the eye can lead to serious infections, inflammation, and potential vision loss for the animal being treated.
