Vital Care Compounder Drugs Recalled for Sterility Issues

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Pharmacy Plus, Inc., doing business as Vital Care Compounder, is recalling approximately 3,677 units of various compounded sterile drug products, including injectable solutions such as Semaglutide and Papaverine, as well as several types of ophthalmic (eye) drops. The recall was initiated following an FDA inspection which found that the products were manufactured in a way that does not guarantee they are sterile. Using non-sterile drugs that are meant to be sterile can lead to severe and potentially life-threatening infections. No injuries or specific incidents have been reported, but the manufacturer is voluntarily recalling the products as a precaution.

Risk

Products that lack sterility assurance can cause localized or systemic infections if they are contaminated with bacteria or fungi. These infections can be particularly dangerous when the drugs are injected or used in the eyes, potentially leading to hospitalization or permanent damage.

What You Should Do

  1. This recall affects a wide range of compounded sterile products including injectable solutions, ophthalmic drops, and unit dose vials produced by Pharmacy Plus, Inc. dba Vital Care Compounder.
