Testosterone Cypionate/Anastrozole Injectable Recalled for Sterility Assurance

Talon Compounding Pharmacy is recalling a testosterone cypionate and anastrozole injectable product because the manufacturer cannot assure sterility. The product was distributed across the United States, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The FDA classified this as a Class II recall. Lack of sterility assurance in an injectable drug product represents a serious safety concern because non-sterile injectables can cause serious infections, and the source text indicates no reported illnesses yet, placing this within the Class II framework for potential for serious adverse health consequences.
