Specialty Medicine Compounding Pharmacy Recalls Testos Cypionate Injectable Due to Sterility Concerns

Specialty Medicine Compounding Pharmacy is recalling Testos Cypionate injectable because sterility cannot be assured after a related product was found non-sterile.

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 significant risk of serious injury or infection, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Specialty Medicine Compounding Pharmacy is recalling all unexpired lots of Testos Cypionate in Olive Oil 200 mg/mL Injectable. The affected product is a prescription-only medication manufactured and distributed between July 1, 2013, and October 19, 2013. Specific lots include 08192013@34, t08272013@34, and t10012013@28.

The recall is being conducted because the products were compounded in the same environment and under the same practices as another product that was found to be non-sterile. Consequently, the sterility of the recalled Testos Cypionate products cannot be assured. The FDA has classified this as a Class II recall.

The product was distributed to hospitals, clinics, physicians, and patients in the Michigan area only. Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using the recalled product and contact their healthcare provider or the pharmacy for further instructions.
