Plain-English summary
Specialty Medicine Compounding Pharmacy is recalling all unexpired lots of Hydroxocobalamin/Thiamine 1 mg/100 mg/mL Injectable.

The product was distributed to hospitals, clinics, physicians, and patients in the Michigan area only.
Healthcare providers and patients should stop using the recalled product and contact the recalling firm or their healthcare provider for further instructions. The FDA classifies this recall as Class II, indicating a situation where use of, or exposure to, the violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
