SCA Pharmaceuticals, Inc.: Vasopressin Injection Recalled for Subpotency

Agency Publication Date: December 21, 2020

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

SCA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has recalled 654 bags of Vasopressin (20 Units added to 0.9% Sodium Chloride 100 mL). This prescription medication is being recalled because it was found to be subpotent, meaning it may not contain the full required strength of the active drug. Because this is a critical medication often used to manage blood pressure in hospital settings, a dose that is weaker than expected could lead to ineffective treatment of serious medical conditions. If you or a loved one were administered this product in a clinical setting between December 2020 and January 2021, you should be aware of this quality issue.

Risk

The drug is subpotent, which means it may fail to provide the intended therapeutic effect. In clinical situations where vasopressin is used, such as for blood pressure support, an under-strength dose could result in poor patient outcomes or medical emergencies not being adequately controlled.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your medical records or drug packaging for Vasopressin 20 Units in 0.9% Sodium Chloride 100 mL bags with the bar code 70004093232.
  2. Identify if you have any of the three affected lot numbers: 1120025012 (BUD 01/13/2021), 1120025015 (BUD 01/15/2021), or 1120025272 (BUD 01/28/2021).
  3. If you are a healthcare provider or pharmacist, immediately stop using these specific lots and quarantine any remaining stock.
  4. If you are a patient and believe you were treated with this medication, contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance regarding your treatment.
  5. Return any unused product to the place of purchase for a refund and contact SCA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for further instructions on returning the affected bags.
  6. For additional questions, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint hotline at 1-888-723-3332 (1-888-SAFEFDA) or visit www.fda.gov/safety/recalls.
