The Food and Drug Administration is adding to a list of eye-care products consumers should stop using “immediately” over concerns of possible bacterial contamination that could lead to blindness if infection occurs.
The FDA is “warning consumers and health care professionals not to purchase or use Delsam Pharma’s Artificial Eye Ointment due to potential bacterial contamination,” the agency announced Tuesday.
The ointment, which is manufactured by Global Pharma Healthcare Private Limited, is a lubricant used to prevent irritation and relieve dryness of the eye, according to a description on Delsam Pharma’s website.
