Partell Specialty Pharmacy is recalling approximately 62 units of various compounded drug products, including injectable liquids and pellets such as Testosterone, Estradiol, and Vitamin D. These products were sterilized using a non-approved method, which means the pharmacy cannot guarantee they are completely free of germs or bacteria. The recall was initiated after a lack of sterility assurance was identified, though no specific patient injuries have been reported at this time. These medications were distributed exclusively in Nevada between late 2017 and early 2018.
Using a drug intended to be sterile that is not properly sterilized poses a high risk of serious infection. These infections can be life-threatening if the bacteria enters the bloodstream or deep tissues via injection or surgical implantation of pellets.
