Class II · Moderate risk
Dexamethasone Moxifloxacin Ketorolac
Presence of particulate matter - Glass like particles.
Ketorolac Tromethamine Injection
Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.
Why it was recalled
Crystallization: Particulate matter (Ketorolac Calcium Salt) was observed from several lots of retained samples.
Cause type: Failed specification
A physical or chemical test other than potency, dissolution, impurity or stability failed - pH, viscosity, appearance, tablet integrity, fill volume. A product outside its own specification may not perform as designed, even if the active ingredient is present. All failed specification recalls.

Check, then ask. Class II means harm is possible but usually temporary or reversible. Find the lot number on your package; if it matches, ask your pharmacist about a replacement. Do not simply stop a prescribed medication on your own - the gap can be riskier than the recall. This recall is now terminated, which means the firm has finished removing the affected product; anything on pharmacy shelves today should be unaffected.
