FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – September 21, 2015 – Conway, AK – US Compounding, Inc. ("USC") is voluntarily recalling all lots of sterile products aseptically compounded and packaged by USC and that remain within expiry due to the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA")_ concern over a lack of sterility assurance. The sterile products were distributed nationwide to patients, providers, hospitals, or clinics between March 14, 2015 and September 9, 2015. The recall does not pertain to any non-sterile compounded medications prepared by USC.

If the sterility of a compounded preparation intended to be sterile is compromised, patients may be at risk. As USC takes the utmost care to ensure patient safety and out of an abundance of caution, then, USC is asking all patients and providers that received sterile compounded products from USC between March 14, 2015 and September 9, 2015, and that remain within expiry, to take the following actions:

1. Discontinue use of the products;
2. Quarantine any unused product until further instructions are received on how to return the product; and

Customers should contact their physician or healthcare provider if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking or using this drug product. Providers who have dispensed any sterile product distributed by USC to a patient(s) for use outside of the provider's office should contact the patient(s) to whom product was dispensed and advise the patient(s) of this recall.
