The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has issued a company-led drug recall for Sodium Chloride Eye Drops 5% 1x10ml
(unlicensed medicine) Stockport Pharmaceuticals.
Stockport Pharmaceuticals said that the above batch of Sodium Chloride Eye Drops 5% w/v as the sterile eye droppers supplied with the medicinal product have
expired (Jan 2022).
The authority said, "This recall is being issued as a company-led medicines recall, as this product is only supplied to a small number of customers, and the
manufacturer has full traceability of the product's distribution."
"Remaining stock of the above batch should be quarantined and returned to Stockport Pharmaceuticals directly."
Low levels of sodium are recommended for heart and high blood pressure patients, so salt intake has to cut down which further decreases chloride levels, And lower chloride levels also ups risk of cardiovascular disease.
