South Lyon compounding pharmacy recalls 98 unexpired sterile medications 7:05 PM, October 21, 2013

A South Lyon compounding pharmacy is recalling 98 unexpired sterile medications out of “an abundance of caution” after contamination was discovered in one of its products at a Michigan hospital, the facility’s spokesman said today.
Specialty Medicine Compounding Pharmacy learned Saturday that particulate matter of some kind was discovered in vials of a dextrose-based intravenous solution dispensed to a Henry Ford Health System hospital.
No illnesses have been reported at that hospital from the contaminated product, which has been removed. Dextrose-based intravenous solution is an intravenous (IV) solution used to supply water and calories to the body. It is also used as a diluent for other IV medications.
