Still No Indication from FDA or Beacon Hill Pharmacy As to What Triggered Recent Recall of more than 130 sterile drug products


Another Compounding Pharmacy Recall
More than 130 sterile drug products for injection sold by Beacon Hill Pharmacy of Southfield, Mich., doing business as Rxtra Solutions, have been recalled because sterility cannot be assured, according to the pharmacy and the FDA.
Products were packaged in vials of 1 to 100 mL containing liquids, suspensions, or lyophilized powders. They were shipped nationwide to hospitals, clinics, and individual patients, Beacon Hill said.
Neither the pharmacy nor the FDA indicated what triggered the recall or whether incidents of patient injury were known. The agency has dramatically stepped up its inspections of compounding pharmacies in the wake of last year's scandal involving fungal meningitis traced to contaminated epidural steroids sold by a Massachusetts pharmacy.
A complete list of products recalled by Beacon Hill was posted on the FDA's website .
