Indian-made drugs have been recalled from the drug market
After evaluation of incidents reported to the Medical Devices Surveillance System, the use of these drugs manufactured by APPASAMY OCULAR DEVICES (P) LTD, India is ordered to be discontinued and withdrawn from the market.

According to user reports, severe postoperative inflammatory reactions, including ocular inflammatory reactions, corneal edema and other complications were observed in patients who underwent surgical interventions using these drugs.
