Class II · Moderate riskTerminated Initiated Oct 19, 2013 (13 years ago)
HYDROXYPROGEST*-17ALPHA -PF 250 mg/mL INJECTABLE
Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.
Why it was recalled
Lack of Assurance of Sterility: All unexpired sterile compounded human and veterinary products are being recalled because they were compounded in the same environment and under the same practices as another product found to be non-sterile and therefore sterility cannot be assured.
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
HYDROXYPROGEST*-17ALPHA -PF 250 mg/mL INJECTABLE, Rx only, Specialty Medicine Compounding Pharmacy, 350 S Lafayette, South Lyon, MI 48178
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.
