RELATED: This Medication Is Being Recalled Effective Immediately, FDA Warns. Olympia Pharmacy is voluntarily recalling 11 specific lots of Trimix Formulas F-9, T-105, SB-4, Sermorelin, Sincalide, Hydroxocobalamin, and NAD compounded injectables, already distributed to consumers. The company found these compounded products to be out of specification. Olympia announced the recall on Mar. 10, and the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) posted the recall notice on the same day. According to the risk statement in the recall notice, administration of hydroxocobalamin that is not potent enough in infants, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and elderly populations are at risk for vitamin B12 deficiency, and “there is a reasonable probability they could experience adverse events” including muscle weakness, neurological peripheral neuropathic numbness or pain, vision loss, and psychiatric disorders including depression and memory loss. Further, injectable compounded products that were to contain more or less medication than the strength on the label, or which reconstitute at a different rate than intended, may cause either too much or too little drug to be administered. And this in turn could lead to less effectiveness or unintended negative side effects. RELATED: If You Have Any of These Deodorants, Stop Using Them Immediately, FDA Says.
