Human Chorionic Gonadotropin

Class I — High risk. Reasonable probability of serious harm or death.

Why it was recalled

Non-sterility: presence of mold confirmed by outside laboratory at the 14 day culture.

Cause type: Sterility / contamination

A product that must be sterile could not be assured sterile, or was contaminated. A top reason for injectables, eye drops and IV products - loss of sterility assurance can lead to serious infections. All sterility / contamination recalls.

What was recalled

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, 125 IU HCG, in 0.5 ml syringe, subcutaneous administration, Rx only, Complete Pharmacy & Medical Solutions, Miami Lakes, FL 33014

FDA recall number
D-0917-2017 · FDA notice

Treat this as urgent. Class I means FDA judged there is a reasonable probability of serious harm. Find the lot number on your package; if it matches the recalled lots, do not take another dose before you have spoken to your pharmacist or prescriber - today, not next week.
