Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Medisca, Inc. is recalling approximately 640,325 grams of Estriol, USP (Micronized), a pharmaceutical ingredient used in hormone replacement therapies. The recall was initiated because the product failed to meet required specifications for impurities and degradation, which means the medication may contain unintended chemical components or have broken down over time. These Estriol products were distributed nationwide in various container sizes including 1 g, 5 g, 25 g, 100 g, 2000 g, and 1 kg. Consumers who may have received compounded medications containing these ingredients should contact their healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance.

Risk

The failure to meet impurity and degradation specifications means the drug may be less effective or contain unexpected chemical byproducts. This could lead to unpredictable patient outcomes or adverse reactions during hormone therapy treatment.
