27,000-member body opened Sun Pharma’s eye
Mumbai: In response to an alert from the All India Ophthalmological Society (AIOS), Sun Pharma has voluntarily recalled certain eye care products due to concerns over bacterial contamination. The AIOS, comprising around 27,000 eye specialists, had previously issued an advisory on June 19 about pseudomonas species contaminating specific batches of Sun Pharma's Predmet eyedrop.
Following this, Sun Pharma expanded the recall to encompass 11 other ophthalmic products on July 17, as a precautionary measure. The company did not specify the reason for the recall, citing it as an abundance of caution. The AIOS's advisory emphasized patient safety, advising healthcare professionals to remain vigilant for potential ocular infections such as keratitis, postoperative infections, endophthalmitis, or unexplained inflammation.
