Dexpanthenol Injectable Recalled Due to Sterility Assurance Concerns

The Compounding Shop is recalling Dexpanthenol 200 mg/mL Injectable vials because FDA inspection findings raised concerns about quality control and sterility assurance.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Drugs): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class II. According to the rubric, an FDA Class II recall involving a drug with sterility concerns (a significant safety risk) aligns with the 'Severe' category, particularly given the potential for serious injury from non-sterile injectables, even without explicit hospitalization reports in the provided text snippet.
