FDA: Do not use sterile products made by Houston compounding pharmacy

Health care providers and patients should not use compounded products marketed as sterile by Greenpark Compounding Pharmacy due to a lack of sterility assurance, the Food and Drug Administration announced today. FDA recently recommended the compounder expand its recall of a compounded ophthalmic drug to include all unexpired compounded drugs intended to be sterile and stop their production until it implements adequate corrective actions. However, the company has refused to recall the products or cease compounding sterile drugs, FDA said.
