Delsam Pharma Artificial Eye Ointment: Produced by the same manufacturer, Delsam's topical ointment hasn't been linked to current cases as recorded by the CDC, but is being recalled due to "possible microbial contamination." While it's not technically an eye drop product, implicated tubes of ointment (which is used on skin in proximity to the eye) can be identified with the NDC 72570-122-35 and UPC code 3 72570 12235 3.Read on to learn more about a current list of recalled eye drops and symptoms of bacterial eye infections to consider. This article will be updated with more information about current recalls as it becomes available.

What’s more: These eye drops were also found to contain the active ingredient methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), which is not approved for use in any legally marketed eye-related drugs or products in the U.S., says the FDA.

Purely Soothing 15% MSM Drops: An official FDA recall notice indicates that this product has yet to be linked to any illnesses or injuries related to Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Its manufacturers have indicated that two lots of this product may not be sterile. These products, made in 1oz and .5oz sizes, can be identified using lot codes and UPC information. Implicated products display the following identifiers: LOT#: 2203PS01, UPC 7 31034 91379 9; and LOT#: 1808051, UPC 7 31034 91382 9. Sodium hyaluronate eye drops are also known as 'artificial tears'. They are used to relieve eye dryness and soreness. They moisten, soothe and lubricate the surface of your eye, making it feel more comfortable. Anyone experiencing symptoms and who have used either of the two branded eye drops recently should seek immediate emergency medical care. Severe eye infections may often go ignored or misdiagnosed without clinical care, and left untreated, could cause life-threatening complications, especially with drug-resistant strains of bacteria like the one being traced by CDC officials. But CDC officials have also indicated they are still actively investigating the source of bacterial contamination — there's a possibility that more recalls may take place in the future as healthcare providers learn more about those impacted by tainted eye drops. "Patients reported over 10 different brands of artificial tears and some patients used multiple brands," the CDC indicated. The FDA recommended the manufacturer of these products recall all lots on October 25, 2023, after " agency investigators found insanitary conditions in the manufacturing facility and positive bacterial test results from environmental sampling of critical drug production areas in the facility." Eye drops are intended to be sterile, especially due to a heightened risk for infection since they bypass some of the body's natural defenses by being applied directly into the eyes.To make sure this is the right treatment for you, before you start using the eye drops it is important that your doctor or pharmacist knows:

If you are also using another kind of eye medication (such as drops or ointments), wait at least 5 minutes before applying other medications. Use eye drops before eye ointments to allow the eye drops to enter the eye. Extended-wear lenses should be regularly removed for cleaning and disinfecting or for disposal and replacement on the schedule prescribed by your eye care professional.

CONTRAINDICATIONS (REASONS NOT TO USE)

Healthcare providers at the University of California, Davis's Eye Center published materials that suggest that this particular bacteria impacts the eye by destroying the cornea specifically. While this specific strain of bacteria has not been linked to eye drops previously, CDC officials noted that P. aeruginosa caused upwards of 2,700 deaths in 2017 specifically. Historically, it has caused infections through sepsis (in the blood) or respiratory and urinary tract infections, with upwards of 33,000 recorded cases in the same year. A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/ tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip of the bottle to any surface and DO NOT transfer contents to any other bottle or container. Replace cap after using. PRECAUTIONS
