FDA Once Again Warns Against Compounding Pharmacy

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is alerting health care professionals and consumers not to use drugs marketed as sterile produced by Downing Labs LLC, also known as NuVision Pharmacy, in Dallas, as they may be contaminated. 

The latest alert follows a warning from 2013, where the FDA cautioned the public that the sterility of products from the pharmacy could not be assured: http://www.cemag.us/news/2013/08/fda-cautions-against-healthcare-products

Health care professionals should immediately check their medical supplies, quarantine any sterile drug products from NuVision, and not administer them to patients. Administration of a non-sterile drug product intended to be sterile may result in serious and potentially life-threatening infections or death.

NuVision’s products were distributed nationwide. Most of the product labels include: NuVision Pharmacy, Dallas TX. 75244 1-800-914-7435.
