THE US FDA has announced a
voluntary recall of all products
made by a compounding pharmacy
firm called Ameridose, based in
Westborough, Massachusetts.
The move follows an inspection of
the company’s manufacturing area,
with the FDA’s preliminary findings
having raised concern about “a lack
of sterility assurance” for items
produced at the facility.
Ameridose shares common
management with New England
Compounding Pharmacy, which
was recently linked to an outbreak
of fungal meningitis (PD 10 Oct).
However unlike NECP, the
Ameridose recall is not based on
reports of patients who have
contracted infections as a result of
using the products.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 02 Nov 12 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 02 Nov 12
