Martin Avenue Pharmacy, Inc.: Various Compounded Sterile Veterinary Injectables Recalled for Sterility Risks

Agency Publication Date: November 3, 2014

Summary

Martin Avenue Pharmacy, Inc. is voluntarily recalling approximately 1,360 units of all in-date compounded sterile veterinary preparations, including Peng/proc/strep/chlor/hyos, Phenylephrine 1%, Prednisolone acetate, "Tri-mix", and Tacrolimus oil. These medications are being recalled following an FDA inspection that identified quality control issues that could compromise the sterility of the products. These sterile medications were distributed nationwide to several states in amber or clear glass vials and squeeze bottles.

Risk

If a sterile injectable or ophthalmic (eye) medication is contaminated with bacteria or fungi, it can cause serious infections or life-threatening complications in animals. The quality control failures at the facility present a significant risk that these products may not be completely sterile.
