Summary

Pharmacy Plus, Inc. (doing business as Vital Care Compounder) is recalling 820 units of several injectable and ophthalmic (eye) veterinary medications, including Buprenorphine, Cyclosporin, Tacrolimus, and Triamcinolone Acetonide. These products were recalled because they may lack sterility assurance, which can lead to serious infections in animals. No injuries or illnesses have been reported to date. These medications were distributed in Mississippi and were dispensed in various vials and droptainers.

Risk

A lack of sterility assurance means the products may be contaminated with bacteria or other microorganisms. If an unsterile medication is injected or applied to an animal's eyes, it can cause severe infection, inflammation, or other life-threatening complications.

What You Should Do

  1. If you have animal health concerns regarding a pet that received these medications, contact your veterinarian immediately.
  2. Identify if your medication is affected by checking the product name and lot number on the vial or droptainer.

  3. Return any unused product to the place of purchase for a refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer or supplier for further instructions.
