Food and Drug Administration this week added dexamethasone sodium phosphate to its lists for temporary compounding by outsourcing facilities and pharmacy compounders during the COVID-19 emergency. Drugs on these lists are intended to address shortages and increase access in the treatment of COVID-19 patients. FDA also this week announced voluntary recalls of two hand sanitizers due to the potential presence of methanol, also known as wood alcohol. Both AAA Cosmética, S.A. de C.V. and 4e Brands North America said they have not received complaints about the products.
