FDA is alerting patients, health care professionals, veterinarians, and animal owners/caretakers about a voluntary recall by Drug Depot, LLC, doing business as APS Pharmacy, of certain unexpired compounded drugs due to a lack of sterility assurance. Administration of a non-sterile drug intended to be sterile may result in serious and potentially life-threatening infections.
See the FDA alert for details of the recalled drugs, reported adverse events, and guidance for health care professionals and consumers: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-alerts-customers-voluntary-recall-compounded-drugs-due-sterility-issues-drug-depot-llc-dba-aps?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery.
Contact the Healthcare-Associated Infections & Antimicrobial Resistance (HAI/AR) Program at CDPHE if you suspect infections related to the recalled products: 303-692-2700 (303-370-9395 after hours).
