| Canada: Recall: Cromolyn Eye Drops (5 mL &10 mL): All lots recalled due to possible risk of infection (English only) |
| |
Health Canada announces that the Pendopharm Division of Pharmascience Inc. is recalling all lots of Cromolyn Eye Drops 5 mL (lot number: 221021, 231034, 240517) and Cromolyn Eye Drops 10 mL (lot number: 230728, 230729, 240210, 240211) due to the risk of microbial growth.
Using a product contaminated with microbes may lead to an eye infection. Children, pregnant people, seniors and people with weaker immune systems may be more susceptible to infection or complications from microbial contamination.
The company’s testing found that the preservative in the product may not be as effective as expected, which could lead to an increased risk of growth of microbes, such as molds or bacteria, if they are introduced into the product. In particular, testing found that the preservative may not prevent the growth of the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa if it is introduced into the product.
