South Lyon pharmacy recalls various products

Specialty Medicine Compounding Pharmacy, located in South Lyon, is voluntarily recalling all lots of certain unexpired human and veterinary sterile products to the consumer level due to particulate matter found in vials of a compounded dextrose injection product dispensed to a local hospital.
Further testing and analysis of the medication is being conducted, according to a press release about the recall issued Saturday.

Specialty Medicine Compounding Pharmacy has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall, the press release states. It goes on to say, “If there is microbial contamination in products intended to be sterile, patients are at risk for serious, potentially life-threatening infections.”

The recalled products were distributed to hospitals and consumers located only within Michigan from July 1 through Oct. 19. No products were distributed out of state.

Specialty Medicine Compounding Pharmacy has begun notifying its customers by mail and is arranging for the return of all recalled medication. Customers with questions regarding this recall may contact the pharmacy at 248-446-2643 , Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The release further states, “Customers that have product which is being recalled should stop using it and contact the pharmacy to arrange for return of unused product. Consumers should contact their physician or health care provider if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking or using these products.”

Adverse reactions may be reported to the FDA’s MedWatch program online at www.fda.gov/medwatch/report.htm; by mail using a postage-paid, pre-addressed
Form FDA 3500 at www.fda.gov/MedWatch/getforms.htm; or by fax at 1-800-FDA-0178.

“We are committed to working cooperatively with state and federal health officials to resolve this issue as quickly as possible,” said Kenny Walkup, R.Ph, president of Specialty Medicine

Compounding Pharmacy. “We apologize for the inconvenience that this voluntary recall may cause our valued customers, but their safety is paramount.”
