Beacon Hill Medical Pharmacy, P.C.: Compounded Sterile Veterinary Products Recalled for Lack of Sterility

Agency Publication Date: September 30, 2013

Summary

Beacon Hill Medical Pharmacy is recalling 2,634 units of several compounded sterile veterinary medications, including various injectable and ophthalmic (eye) products. The recall was initiated because the pharmacy cannot guarantee that these medications are sterile, which is a critical safety requirement for drugs meant to be injected or used in the eyes. Affected products include Apomorphine, Buprenorphine, Cyclosporine, Diazepam, Meloxicam, and Tacrolimus, which were distributed nationwide in the United States.

Risk

If a medication intended to be sterile contains bacteria or other contaminants, it can cause serious infections at the site of injection or in the eye. These infections can lead to severe illness or permanent injury in animals receiving the treatment.
