FDA Recalls Testosterone Enanthate USP Due to Missing Stability Data

American Pharmaceutical Ingredients LLC is recalling Testosterone Enanthate USP for prescription compounding because the manufacturer lacks stability data to support the assigned expiration dates.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which is a moderate risk. The hazard is a documentation and validation issue (lack of stability data) rather than a direct contamination or acute safety defect, and no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall for Testosterone Enanthate USP for prescription compounding, manufactured by American Pharmaceutical Ingredients LLC. The product is available in 25g, 100g, 500g, and 1000g packages and is distributed nationwide within the United States.

The recall is due to Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) deviations. Specifically, the manufacturer lacks the necessary stability data and controls to support the retest or expiration dates assigned to the product in its container/closure system. This means the assigned expiration dates may not be scientifically validated.

Healthcare professionals and patients who have this product should stop using it and contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer for further instructions. The recall covers specific lots with expiration dates ranging from January 2019 to April 2019.
