Bacterial contamination is cited as the reason for the voluntary recall by the Ministry of Health, via its Chemistry, Food and Drugs Division of Prednisolone Eye Drops.
The recall was issued by the manufacturer, Juvencia Lifesciences Private Limited.
The Eye Drops are used to treat non-infectious eye allergies and inflammation.
The manufacturer has issued the recall for 8,000 packs of the product with the Batch Number N23B27.
Out of an abundance of caution, the Ministry advises persons who may be in possession of these recalled products to discontinue use immediately and to return the product to the place of purchase or place received, where possible.
Additional information can be obtained by contacting the Office of the Director of the Chemistry, Food and Drugs Division via email at [email protected] or phone at 217-4664 ext. 13101.
The Ministry of Health will continue to monitor the situation and advise the population as necessary.
