McKesson Medical-Surgical Inc. is recalling 10,980 units of various prescription medications, including EpiPen (epinephrine), Proventil HFA (albuterol), and Depo-Medrol (methylprednisolone), due to deviations from storage requirements known as temperature abuse. The recall was initiated because these products were exposed to temperatures outside of their required storage range during distribution, which may compromise their stability and effectiveness. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date. These products were distributed to medical centers, pharmacies, hospitals, and healthcare facilities nationwide between June 1 and September 30, 2021.
Exposure to improper storage temperatures can cause medications to break down or lose potency, meaning the medicine may not work as intended when needed. This poses a significant risk for patients relying on these treatments for emergency situations, such as severe allergic reactions or asthma attacks.
