Specialty Medicine Compounding Pharmacy Recalls Naltrexone MDV Injectable

Specialty Medicine Compounding Pharmacy is recalling Naltrexone MDV 1mg/mL injectable because sterility cannot be assured due to shared compounding practices with a non-sterile product.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves a lack of assurance of sterility in an injectable product, which poses a risk of serious infection or adverse health consequences, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Specialty Medicine Compounding Pharmacy is recalling Naltrexone MDV 1mg/mL injectable, a prescription-only sterile compounded product. The recall includes all unexpired lots manufactured and distributed between July 1, 2013, and October 19, 2013, including Lot # 09262013@3. The product was distributed to hospitals, clinics, physicians, and patients in the Michigan area only.

The recall is being conducted because the recalled products were compounded in the same environment and under the same practices as another product that was found to be non-sterile. As a result, the sterility of the Naltrexone MDV injectable cannot be assured. This lack of assurance of sterility applies to all unexpired sterile compounded human and veterinary products from the facility during this period.

Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using the recalled product and contact their healthcare provider or the recalling firm for further instructions. The FDA classifies this recall as Class II, indicating that use of, or exposure to, the violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
