Advanced Pharma Recalls Adenosine Due to Latex Labeling Deficiency

Advanced Pharma Inc. is recalling all lots of Adenosine because the product may contain latex but lacks appropriate labeling.

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 typically involves situations where use of the product could cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The hazard is a labeling deficiency regarding latex content, which is a known allergen but does not involve a structural defect or reported serious injury in this specific notice.

Plain-English summary

Advanced Pharma Inc. is voluntarily recalling all strengths, dosage forms, and packaging of Adenosine, a prescription-only medication. The recall is being conducted because the product may contain synthetic latex and/or natural latex, but the labeling does not adequately disclose this information.

The recall covers all lots within their expiration dates and is distributed nationwide in the United States. The specific reason for the recall is classified as a labeling issue where products may contain latex without proper notification.

Consumers and healthcare providers should discontinue use of the recalled Adenosine products and contact their healthcare provider for alternative treatment options. Patients with known latex allergies should be particularly cautious and consult their medical provider regarding the use of any remaining stock.
