Age Intervention Eyelash
The US FDA requested US Marshals to seize more than 12,600 applicator tubes of Age Intervention Eyelash as it may lead to decreased vision. Age Intervention Eyelash is sold and distributed by Jan Marini Skin Research, Inc., of San Jose, CA. The FDA considers Age Intervention Eyelash to be an unapproved and misbranded drug because Jan Marini Skin Research has promoted the product to increase eyelash growth.
The FDA also considers the seized Age Intervention Eyelash to be an adulterated cosmetic. The product contains bimatoprost, an active ingredient in an FDA approved drug to treat elevated intraocular pressure. For patients using the prescription drug, using the Age Intervention Eyelash in addition to the drug may increase the risk of optic nerve damage because the extra dose of bimatoprost may decrease the prescription drug's effectiveness.
Damage to the optic nerve may lead to decreased vision and possibly blindness. In addition, use of Age Intervention Eyelash may cause other adverse effects in certain people due to the bimatoprost, including macular edema and uveitis, which may lead to decreased vision.
