SCA Pharmaceuticals is recalling 3,866 units of various injectable medications, including Succinylcholine, Hydromorphone, Fentanyl, Morphine, Oxytocin, and others, due to a lack of assurance of sterility. Using a non-sterile injectable drug can lead to serious, life-threatening infections such as sepsis or meningitis. These products were distributed nationwide in the United States to healthcare facilities in syringes, bags, and CADD cassettes.
If a drug intended for injection is not sterile, it can introduce bacteria or other contaminants directly into the bloodstream or spinal fluid. This can cause severe systemic infections, organ failure, or death, especially in hospitalized patients with weakened immune systems.
