Injectable hormone medication recalled for sterility assurance failure

Pharmacy Plus, Inc. dba Vital Care Compounder is recalling Medroxyprogesterone Acetate 300 mg/mL suspension due to lack of sterility assurance. The product was produced in a manner that cannot guarantee sterility of the injectable medication.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall of an injectable medication where sterility assurance cannot be guaranteed. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. The product qualifies as a risk-of-harm item (non-sterile injections can cause serious infection), but the absence of reported adverse events and Class II classification support High rather than Severe.
