University Compounding Pharmacy is voluntarily recalling the following preparations (see below) for injection, to the consumer level. In a recent inspection, FDA investigators observed that methods used by the Independent Third Party laboratory to assess sterility may have resulted in pharmacies receiving inaccurate laboratory test results. FDA has concerns that results obtained from the laboratory are not reliable.
If there is microbial contamination in products intended to be sterile, patients are at risk of serious infections which may be life threatening. To date there have been NO reported adverse events associated with the use of these products and there has been no confirmation of lack of sterility of these products. We are voluntarily recalling the products as a precautionary measure for the safety of our patients.
The prescription preparations were distributed nationwide from May 9th, 2013 to September 7th, 2013. The preparations would have been sold, directly to customers by pick up and by mail from;
