Injectable Drug Recall: Lack of Sterility Assurance at Manufacturing Facility

Pharmacy Innovations is recalling an injectable medication due to lack of sterility assurance caused by insanitary conditions at the manufacturing facility. Affected vials were distributed nationwide.

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: FDA Class II drug recall with lack of sterility assurance due to insanitary manufacturing conditions. No illnesses or injuries reported, but injectable medications require strict sterile conditions; the facility's insanitary conditions create a high-risk situation without yet-manifested harm.

Plain-English summary

Pharmacy Innovations is recalling Dexpanthenol/Pyridoxine/Hydroxocobalamin 250MG/100MG/1MG/ML injectable medication in 1ML vials distributed nationwide. The recall was initiated due to an FDA inspection that revealed insanitary conditions at the manufacturing facility.

Insanitary facility conditions compromise the assurance that injectable medications have been properly sterilized. Injectable medications must be manufactured under strict sterile conditions, and the insanitary conditions identified by FDA inspection create a risk that these vials may not meet required sterility standards.

Patients and healthcare providers should not use affected vials. Those with questions should contact their healthcare provider or pharmacist. The affected lots are identified by the codes t20221012@64 and t20221114@18.
