Tri-Mix Papaverine Injectable Lacks Sterility Assurance

Talon Compounding Pharmacy is recalling a lot of Tri-Mix Papaverine injectable due to lack of assurance of sterility. The recalled product is 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 product. Loss of sterility assurance in an injectable drug poses risk of serious infection or other serious adverse health consequences, and injectable products are high-risk when sterility cannot be assured.
