【新唐人北京時間2023年10月31日訊】市面上銷售的大品牌眼藥水,可能導致眼睛感染,甚至讓人失明!美國食品藥物管理局(FDA:The U.S. Food and Drug Administration)給出了這些產品的明細。
FDA總計列出26種眼藥水,並說儘管沒有收到相關投訴,但眼睛感染的病人如果使用了這些產品,「應該立即向他們的健康提供者求助,或著尋求醫療幫助」。
FDA強調用於眼部治療的產品應該是無菌的,因為「藥物滴入眼中會繞過人體的一些自然防禦屏障,從而對使用者造成潛在傷害的風險更高」。
然而,FDA的檢察員在眼藥水工廠生產區域的環境採樣顯示「細菌檢測呈陽性」,所以要求相關廠商和零售商召回這些產品。
目前CVS、Rite Aid和Target零售店和網站都已經下架了相關產品,但Leader、Rugby 和 Velocity仍然在線上商城和實體藥店內出售。FDA提醒消費者,購買時應檢查生產日期,如果是在10月25日生產的就不應該選購。

今年稍早美國疾病防控中心和FDA曾警告EzriCare人工淚液和Delsam Pharma人工淚液產品中可能被細菌感染,從而導致全國十幾起視力損失甚至眼球被摘除的案例。有四起死亡案例或許與這些眼淚滴液相關。
當時疾控中心表示,這些眼淚滴液中可能存在銅綠假單胞菌。銅綠假單胞菌普遍存在自然環境中,但在眼病相關的治療產品中之前從未發現過。
這次FDA要求下架的產品具體可能感染到何種細菌,目前尚不清楚。
