Class II · Moderate risk
Nexterone (amiodarone HCI)
CGMP Deviations
Amiodarone HCl Injection (Amiodarone Hydrochloride)
Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.
Why it was recalled
Temperature Abuse: One shipment was inadvertantly stored refrigerated rather than the labeled room temperature recommendation at McKesson Medical-Surgical Inc., one of the distributing wholesalers.
Cause type: Temperature excursion
The product was stored or shipped outside its labeled temperature range. Heat or freezing can degrade a drug without any visible change, so it may be weaker than labeled. All temperature excursion recalls.

Check, then ask. Class II means harm is possible but usually temporary or reversible. Find the lot number on your package; if it matches, ask your pharmacist about a replacement. Do not simply stop a prescribed medication on your own - the gap can be riskier than the recall. This recall is now terminated, which means the firm has finished removing the affected product; anything on pharmacy shelves today should be unaffected.
