Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Auro Pharmacies, Inc. (operating as Central Drugs Compounding Pharmacy) is recalling approximately 965 vials of 12 different types of injectable medications, including CoEnzyme-Q10, Calcium Gluconate, Testosterone, and Methyl-Cobalamin. The recall was initiated because the company's equipment and processes could not ensure the sterility of these products, which are intended for injection. Consumers who have these products should stop using them immediately and contact their healthcare provider or pharmacist, as using a non-sterile injectable drug can lead to serious infections.

Risk

Inadequate sterilization processes and equipment may allow microorganisms to survive in the medication. Injecting a product that is not sterile poses a significant risk of serious infection or other health complications.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately check your medication vials for the following brand: Central Drugs Compounding Pharmacy, located at 520 W. La Habra Blvd, La Habra, CA 90631.
  2. Verify if your product matches one of the affected lot numbers and expiration dates, such as CoEnzyme-Q10 Lot 180626/3 (Exp 25-Aug-18), Glutathione Lot 180716/21 (Exp 14-Oct-18), or Testosterone Cypionate/Enanthate Lot 180606/18 (Exp 30-Nov-18).
  3. Stop using any affected medication immediately and do not discard it until you have contacted your pharmacy or healthcare provider.
  4. Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance on alternative treatments and instructions on how to return the product for a refund.
  5. Contact Auro Pharmacies, Inc. directly at their La Habra, California location for further instructions regarding this recall.
