Apothecary Shoppe Recalls SO-Acetylcysteine Ophthalmic Solution for Sterility Concerns

The Apothecary Shoppe LLC is recalling SO-Acetylcysteine 10% Sterile Ophthalmic Solution due to lack of documentation for environmental monitoring during production.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Drugs): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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: The recall involves a sterile ophthalmic product where sterility assurance is compromised due to documentation gaps. This fits the rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
