Testosterone Cypionate Anastrozole Injectable Recalled for Sterility Concerns

Talon Compounding Pharmacy is recalling a testosterone cypionate and anastrozole injectable product due to lack of assurance of sterility. The recall affects nine vials distributed across the United States.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Drugs): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall of a sterile injectable pharmaceutical product. Lack of sterility assurance in injectable medications presents a significant risk of serious infection and harm; the product is a prescription injectable that directly enters the body, making any sterility failure a serious patient safety concern.
