Clinere Carbamide Peroxide recalled for subpotent formulation
What this means
Bell Pharmaceuticals is recalling Clinere Carbamide Peroxide ear cleaning solution due to manufacturing defects that reduced the active ingredient strength to approximately 0.6% instead of the expected 6–7%. The affected bottles also have a lower-than-normal pH. These defects may reduce the product's effectiveness.
