Pharmacy Innovations is recalling Mitomycin 0.2mg/ml ophthalmic solution nationwide due to lack of sterility assurance following FDA facility inspection findings.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall involving a high-risk pharmaceutical product requiring sterility. No reported illnesses or confirmed contamination, but the product poses direct risk of harm (eye infections) if non-sterile, meeting the criterion of 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'

Plain-English summary

Pharmacy Innovations is recalling Mitomycin 0.2mg/ml ophthalmic solution nationwide. The product is available in 1ml Droptainer and 1ml vial forms. The recall was initiated due to lack of assurance of sterility.

An FDA inspection of the manufacturer's facility in Erie, Pennsylvania revealed insanitary conditions that could compromise the sterility of the product. Mitomycin is a prescription medication used in ophthalmic procedures, and non-sterile eye drops could potentially cause eye infections.

The product was distributed nationwide. Patients and healthcare providers who have received this medication should contact their pharmacist or healthcare provider for guidance. The recalled product codes are t20221004@8 and t20221011@36.
