Health Canada announces that Teva Canada Ltd. is recalling one lot each of Pharmasave Advanced Relief Eye Drops and Compliments Advanced Relief Eye Drops because of a packaging error. Some bottles may contain ingredients that are not listed on the label and that may pose health risks to individuals who are allergic to the ingredients. Cartons of the affected Pharmasave and Compliments eye drops are labelled with lot number AR21C03. The affected bottles may be labelled with either lot number AR21C03 or RL21D01.
Following a complaint involving the Pharmasave eye drops, the company identified that some bottles in one lot of both the Pharmasave and Compliments products may have been packaged with another eye-drop product that contains different active ingredients. Glycerine 0.25% and naphazoline HCl 0.012% were present in bottles which were labelled to contain dextran 70 0.1%, povidone 1%, polyethylene glycol 400 1%, tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride 0.05%.
Naphazoline HCl or glycerine may cause a reaction in individuals allergic to these ingredients. Signs of an allergic reaction include rash, and itching or swelling, especially of the face, tongue and throat.
