The announcement was made three days after recalling all batches of another eye drop, the Clasgen 0.05%, over the same concerns. On November 4, authorities cited "observations at the manufacturing site related to data integrity and sterile manufacturing processes," as reason for the decision.

The eye drops are prescription immunomodulatory eye drops used to treat chronic dry eye disease (keratoconjunctivitis sicca) by reducing underlying surface inflammation and helping restore natural tear production.
