Wells Pharmacy Network LLC: Various Veterinary Injectable Drugs Recalled for Sterility Concerns

Agency Publication Date: February 23, 2017

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Wells Pharmacy Network LLC is recalling 1,102 vials of various compounded veterinary injectable medications, including treatments for inflammation, hormonal regulation, and sedation. The recall was initiated because the pharmacy cannot guarantee these products are sterile, which is essential for any medication injected into an animal's body. These products were distributed to veterinary clinics and pet owners across numerous states and Washington, D.C. between February and September 2016.

Risk

If an injectable medication is not sterile, it may contain bacteria or fungi that can cause serious infections or abscesses at the injection site, potentially leading to systemic illness or death in animals. No specific injuries or infections have been reported to date, but the lack of sterility assurance poses a significant health risk.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your veterinary supplies for any of the following products prepared by Wells Pharmacy: Pentosan Sodium Polysulfate, Progesterone in Sesame Oil, Detomidine HCL/Xylazine, Medroxyprogesterone Acetate, Histrelin Acetate, Estradiol Cypionate, Methocarbamol, Estrone Aqueous, Cyclosporine (A) Oil, Flunixin Meglumine, or Phenylephrine HCL.
  2. Verify the lot numbers on the vial labels; affected lots include 03252016@33, 05112016@8, 06142016@47, 04082016@7, 05112016@3, 06152016@1, 07072016@7, 08022016@27, 04272016@94, 08022016@70, 05022016@11, 05272016@5, 06202016@2, 06232016@27, 08222016@18, 05022016@110, 05092016@12, 05272016@3, 0622016@7, 06272016@29, 08022016@8, 071402016@35, 08022016@20, 08112016@7, and 07202016@44.
  3. Immediately stop using any affected product and quarantine the vials to ensure they are not administered to animals.
  4. Contact your veterinarian if your pet has received any of these medications and shows signs of infection, swelling at the injection site, or unusual behavior.
  5. Contact your pharmacist or healthcare provider for guidance, and return any unused product to Wells Pharmacy Network LLC for a refund.
