FDA Warns Consumers to Avoid EzriCare and Delsam Pharma's Artificial Tears

In early 2023, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a warning to consumers to not use or purchase EzriCare or Delsam Pharma Eye Drops due to potential bacterial contamination.

Global Pharma Healthcare issued a voluntary recall of Artificial Tears Lubricant Eye Drops due to possible contamination on February 2nd, 2023.

According to the warning, the FDA recommended a recall due to Global Pharma’s:

“…current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) violations, including lack of appropriate microbial testing, formulation issues, and lack of proper controls concerning tamper-evident packaging.”

In regard to Global Pharma’s track record, the FDA warning states that the company manufactures and distributes ophthalmic drugs in multi-use bottles, without an adequate preservative.

The dangerous bacteria involved in the Global Pharma/Delsam/EzriCare recall is Verona Integron-mediated Metallo-β-lactamase (VIM)- and Guiana-Extended Spectrum-β-Lactamase (GES)- producing carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (VIM-GES-CRPA).

Global Pharma Healthcare was also put on an import alert due to the bacterial growth in artificial tears products, preventing further contaminated EzriCare artificial tears and Delsam Pharma artificial tears from entering the United States.

“…extensively drug-resistant strain of Verona Integron-mediated Metallo-β-lactamase (VIM) and Guiana-Extended Spectrum-β-Lactamase (GES)-producing carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (VIM-GES-CRPA) in 12 states.”

The CDC also says that although most patients used several different brands of artificial tears, EzriCare Artificial Tears were commonly mentioned by those suffering from an ocular infection.
