The recall is a result of concerns about the Rx laboratory’s practices that arose during a routine inspection of the compounding pharmacy by the FDA. The practices found in the inspection had the potential to contaminate products intended to be sterile.
“Administration of a nonsterile product that is intended to be sterile by subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous or ocular routes of administration may result in a site-specific or systemic infection which in turn may result in hospitalization, significant morbidity, organ damage, or a fatal outcome,” the July 28 recall notice reads.
The recall affects compounded sterile drug products that were dispensed in Pennsylvania between Jan. 17 and July 10.
