Oregon Compounding Centers, Inc. dba Creative Compounds: Sterile Veterinary Drugs Recalled Due to Lack of Sterility Assurance

Agency Publication Date: November 13, 2014

Summary

Oregon Compounding Centers, Inc. (Creative Compounds) is recalling three types of sterile compounded veterinary medications, including Apomorphine HCL, Cyclosporine-E Plus, and Polysulfated Glycosaminoglycan, because they may not be sterile. A total of 439 units distributed in Oregon and Washington are affected by this recall. Using a non-sterile injectable or ophthalmic (eye) medication in animals can lead to serious infections that may be difficult to treat or life-threatening. Consumers should immediately stop using these specific products and contact their veterinarian.

Risk

The medications were produced without sufficient assurance of sterility, meaning they may contain bacteria or other contaminants. When non-sterile products are injected or applied to the eyes of animals, they can cause severe infections or abscesses at the site of administration.

Immediately stop using any of these medications if the lot numbers and discard dates match your product.
Contact your veterinarian or pharmacist for guidance regarding your animal's health and to discuss alternative treatments.
