WARNING LETTER
August 25, 2025
RE: 710859
Dear Supply Center USA:
This letter is to advise you that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviewed your website at the Internet address https://supplycenterusa.com in May 2025. The FDA has observed that your website offers “Similasan Allergy Eye Relief” (all variations), “Similasan Complete Eye Relief,” “Similasan Computer Eye Relief,” “Similasan Pink Eye Relief,” “Similasan Redness & Itchy Eye Relief,” “Similasan Stye Eye Relief,” “Similasan Aging Eye Relief,” and “Boiron Optique 1 Eye Irritation Relief” for sale in the United States. Based on our review, these products are unapproved new drugs under section 505(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), 21 U.S.C. 355(a). As explained further below, introducing or delivering these products for introduction into interstate commerce violates sections 301(d) and 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(d) and 355(a).
Your unapproved “Similasan Allergy Eye Relief” (all variations), “Similasan Complete Eye Relief,” “Similasan Computer Eye Relief,” “Similasan Pink Eye Relief,” “Similasan Redness & Itchy Eye Relief,” “Similasan Stye Eye Relief,” “Similasan Aging Eye Relief,” and “Boiron Optique 1 Eye Irritation Relief” drug products are especially concerning from a public health perspective. Ophthalmic drug products, which are intended for administration into the eyes, in general pose a greater risk of harm to users because the route of administration for these products bypasses some of the body’s natural defenses.
Based on a review of your website, your “Similasan Allergy Eye Relief” (all variations), “Similasan Complete Eye Relief,” “Similasan Computer Eye Relief,” “Similasan Pink Eye Relief,” “Similasan Redness & Itchy Eye Relief,” “Similasan Stye Eye Relief,” “Similasan Aging Eye Relief,” and “Boiron Optique 1 Eye Irritation Relief” are drugs under section 201(g)(1) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(g)(1), because they are intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, and/or intended to affect the structure or any function of the body. Examples of claims from your website https://supplycenterusa.com that provide evidence of the intended use of these products as drugs include, but may not be limited to, the following:

Your “Similasan Allergy Eye Relief” (all variations), “Similasan Complete Eye Relief,” “Similasan Computer Eye Relief,” “Similasan Pink Eye Relief,” “Similasan Redness & Itchy Eye Relief,” “Similasan Stye Eye Relief,” “Similasan Aging Eye Relief,” and “Boiron Optique 1 Eye Irritation Relief” products are not generally recognized as safe and effective (GRASE) for their above referenced uses and, therefore, these products are “new drugs” under section 201(p) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(p). With certain exceptions not applicable here, a new drug may not be introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce without an approved application from FDA in effect, as described in section 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355(a). There are no FDA-approved applications pursuant to section 505 of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355, in effect for these products. Accordingly, the introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of these products violates sections 301(d) and 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(d) and 355(a).
We recognize that your “Similasan Allergy Eye Relief” (all variations), “Similasan Complete Eye Relief,” “Similasan Computer Eye Relief,” “Similasan Pink Eye Relief,” “Similasan Redness & Itchy Eye Relief,” “Similasan Stye Eye Relief,” “Similasan Aging Eye Relief,” and “Boiron Optique 1 Eye Irritation Relief” products are labeled as homeopathic drugs with active ingredient(s) measured in homeopathic strengths. Under section 201(g)(1) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(g)(1), the term “drug” includes articles recognized in the official Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States (HPUS), or any supplement to it. Homeopathic drug products are subject to the same statutory requirements as other drugs; nothing in the FD&C Act exempts homeopathic drugs from any of the requirements related to adulteration, misbranding, or FDA approval.
The violations cited in this letter are not intended to be an all-inclusive statement of violations that may exist in connection with your products. You are responsible for investigating and determining the causes of any violations and for preventing their recurrence or the occurrence of other violations.

If you cannot complete corrective action within fifteen working days, state the reason for the delay and the time within which you will complete the correction.
