The Ministry of Health, via its Chemistry, Food and Drugs Division, is advising of a voluntary recall notice of Lubricant Eye Drops. The recall, issued by Kilitch Healthcare India Limited, is due to potential safety concerns stemming from unsanitary conditions.
In a Media Release today (Thursday 1st February, 2024), the Ministry said there is a risk of potential eye infections or related harm for patients who use these products. These products should be sterile and contaminated medication applied to the eyes may bypass some of the body's natural defenses. According to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), these products were distributed to wholesalers, retailers and via the product distributor, Velocity Pharma LLC.
While the recalled products are not registered for sale in Trinidad and Tobago, out of an abundance of caution, the Ministry is advising persons who may be in possession of these recalled products, to discontinue use immediately and to return the product to the place of purchase where possible.
Additional information can be obtained by contacting the Office of the Director of the Chemistry, Food and Drug Division at [email protected] or 217-4664 ext. 13101. The Ministry said it will continue to monitor the situation and advise the population as necessary. We are a small operation.
