The Tennessee pharmacy blamed for a multistate outbreak of infections from one of its products has voluntarily agreed not to distribute any of its sterile drugs in Florida.
Florida Health Department officials said Wednesday that the Main Street Family Pharmacy of Newbern, Tenn., had agreed to the restriction. Florida has reported the largest number of patients, 13, who got injection site infections after being treated with a steroid shipped from Main Street.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a total of 24 injection site infections have been reported, none of them in Tennessee. Other states reporting cases are North Carolina, Illinois and Arkansas.
