Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Sagent Pharmaceuticals is recalling 14,360 vials of Methylprednisolone Acetate Injectable Suspension (400 mg per 10 mL) because black particulate matter was found in the drug product. The recall affects 10 mL multi-dose vials manufactured in India and distributed nationwide to hospitals and clinics. Patients and healthcare providers should not use any product from the affected lots, as injecting foreign particles can cause serious health complications.

Risk

Injecting a drug containing foreign particles can lead to localized inflammation, the formation of granulomas, or serious systemic issues such as blood vessel blockages (embolisms) or allergic reactions. No injuries or adverse events have been reported to date, but the presence of particulates in a sterile injectable medication poses a medium risk to patient safety.
