South Coast Specialty Compounding, Inc.: Cisapride Veterinary Tablets and Capsules Recalled for Penicillin Contamination

Agency Publication Date: September 17, 2015

Summary

South Coast Specialty Compounding (doing business as Park Compounding) is recalling nine prescriptions of Cisapride, a medication used for animals, including 10mg, 5mg, and 2.5mg Chicken Tablets as well as 2.5mg and 2mg capsules. The recall was initiated because the raw ingredient used to make these medications, supplied by Attix Pharmaceuticals, may be contaminated with penicillin. Penicillin contamination in non-penicillin drugs poses a significant health risk to animals that are sensitive or allergic to the antibiotic.

Risk

The medication may contain undeclared penicillin due to contamination at the ingredient supplier level. Animals with a hypersensitivity or allergy to penicillin could experience severe allergic reactions or other adverse health effects if they ingest these contaminated products.
