| Canada: Additional Unauthorized Sante FX Neo seized from Oceanbuy may pose serious health risks |
| |
Health Canada is warning consumers that an additional unauthorized product, Sante FX Neo, was also seized from Oceanbuy store, and removed from online sale. Sante FX Neo was labelled to contain aminocaproic acid and neostigmine methylsulfate.
There are no approved eye drops containing neostigmine methylsulfate on the Canadian market. In the past, drugs similar to neostigmine were used to treat glaucoma. These medications are no longer widely used because of the significant number of potential eye-related side effects, including blurred distance vision, frontal headaches, twitching lids, red eyes, cataracts, allergic reactions, iris cysts, retinal detachment, and the potential for causing a specific type of glaucoma attack. In addition, absorption into the nose via the tear duct may cause serious cardiac and respiratory side effects.
