Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC is recalling 784 cartons of Magnesium Sulfate in Water for Injection (4 g/100 mL) due to a product mix-up. Some foil pouches labeled as Magnesium Sulfate actually contain an IV bag of Tranexamic Acid instead. This recall affects one specific lot of IV bags distributed to hospitals and clinics nationwide.
Administering Tranexamic Acid instead of Magnesium Sulfate can lead to serious health complications, as the two drugs have entirely different medical purposes. No injuries have been reported to date, but the error could result in a patient receiving the wrong medication during critical hospital treatment.
Manufactured by Amneal Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad, India.
