Recall of Sandoz Timolol Ophthalmic Solutions


Potential for Serious Adverse Health Effects

Health Canada is warning consumers not to use the prescription drug Sandoz Timolol Ophthalmic Solution in 0.25% and 0.5% strengths, because some bottles may contain more of the active ingredient (timolol maleate) than indicated on the label, exposing patients to an increased risk of adverse events.

Sandoz Timolol Ophthalmic Solution 0.25% and 0.5% are eye drops taken for treatment of increased intraocular pressure (high fluid pressure inside the eye) and glaucoma.

Potential adverse events may include red eye, eye irritation, inflammation of the eyelids and/or cornea, drooping of the upper eyelid, double vision, dizziness, headache, abnormally slow heartbeat, abnormally low blood pressure, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, and cardiac failure.
