Well Care Compounding Pharmacy Issues Recall

The company recalls products due to sterility concerns.

FDA announced on May 17, 2016 that Well Care Compounding Pharmacy (Las Vegas, NV) is voluntarily recalling sterile compounded products distributed between Jan. 1–April 29, 2016. The recall comes after an FDA inspection of the facility that resulted in sterility assurance concerns.

The company states in a press release that it has not received any adverse events related to the products, as of May 17. However, because administration of a sterile product that may be compromised could result in serious infections or death, the company is advising customers to stop using the recalled products.
