2 more eyedrops recalled, FDA announces

The Food and Drug Administration has announced the recall of two eyedrops due to the possibility they could be contaminated.

It’s the latest recall involving eyedrops. The FDA had earlier announced recall for EzriCare Artificial Tears, Delsam Pharma’s Artificial Tears and Delsam Pharma’s Artificial Eye Ointment after they were linked to an outbreak of drug-resistant infections that have led to vision loss, blindness and death.

The other recall  covers six lots of Brimonidine Tartrate Ophthalmic Solution made by Apotex. It was made “out of an abundance of caution,” due to cracks in some of the bottle caps that could have impacted sterility.
