FDA Recalls HCG Tablets Compounded With Incorrect Solvent

FDA is recalling HCG 125U/Tab Tablet Tritu compounded by MD Custom Rx due to the use of an incorrect solvent.

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 indicates a situation where use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is a compounding error rather than a high-risk pathogen or structural defect.
