Specialty Medicine Compounding Pharmacy Recalls Sterile Compounded Products for Sterility Assurance

Specialty Medicine Compounding Pharmacy is recalling all unexpired sterile compounded human and veterinary products 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 the hazard involves a lack of assurance of sterility for compounded products, which poses a significant risk of infection or serious injury.

Plain-English summary

Specialty Medicine Compounding Pharmacy is recalling all unexpired sterile compounded human and veterinary products. The recall is being conducted because these 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 products cannot be assured.

The affected products include TRANEXAMIC ACID 2 g/75 mL SOLUTION, which is prescription-only. The recall covers all unexpired lots manufactured and distributed between July 1, 2013, and October 19, 2013. Specific lot numbers included in the recall are 08282013@8, 09192013@9, and 10142013@2. The total quantity involved is 3000 mL.

These products were distributed to hospitals, clinics, physicians, and patients in the Michigan area only. Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using these products and contact the recalling firm or their healthcare provider for further instructions.
