The FDA posted recall notices for certain eyedrops distributed by Pharmedica and Apotex, including an over-the-counter product, Purely Soothing 15% MSM Drops, 'that could result in blindness.'
There's no indication the latest recalls are related to those products.
Pharmedica on Friday said it is recalling two lots of Purely Soothing 15% MSM Drops due to problems"that could result in blindness." The over-the-counter drops are designed to treat eye irritation. The Phoenix-based company said consumers should immediately stop using the drops and return them to the place they were purchased.
Last week, the FDA posted a separate recall announcement from Apotex recalling six lots of prescription eyedrops used to treat a form of glaucoma. The company said it launched the recall after finding cracks in a handful of bottle caps.
