Nelarabine Injection Recalled for Failed Impurity Specifications

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc. is recalling 38,871 vials of Nelarabine Injection (nelarabine), 250mg/50mL, (5mg/mL). This voluntary recall was initiated because the drug failed specifications for impurities and degradation during testing. These failures mean the medication may contain higher-than-allowed levels of unintended chemical compounds, which could affect the safety or effectiveness of the chemotherapy treatment.

Risk

Failed impurity and degradation specifications indicate that the active drug has broken down or contains unintended chemicals. In an injectable medication used for chemotherapy, these impurities can lead to unpredictable side effects or reduced treatment efficacy.
