Understanding this recall
What happened
Victory Medical Center Pharmacy is recalling Glutathione 200 mg/mL 30 mL multidose vials because testing for bacterial endotoxin came back out of specification.
Why it matters
Products meant to be sterile, like injections, can carry bacteria or bacterial toxins (endotoxins) into the body if sterility isn't assured. That can cause fever, infection or more serious reactions, especially in people who are already ill or have weakened immune systems. Glutathione injections like this are compounded products, not FDA-approved drugs.
Who should pay attention
Clinics and patients who received glutathione injections from this pharmacy.
