Alcon's Travatan Z and Systane Use Different Preservatives
Alcon Laboratories has announced a voluntary recall of SYSTANE free LIQUID GEL Lubricant Eye Drops in the United States, in response to a small number of consumer reports of foreign material in partially used bottles. It has been determined that the cause of the problem is the specific formulation of SYSTANE Free LIQUID GEL and does not affect other Alcon products such as TRAVATAN Z.
