Why it was recalled
Lack of Assurance of Sterility: all sterile products compounded, repackaged, and distributed by this compounding pharmacy due to lack of sterility assurance and concerns associated with the quality control processes.

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.
