FDA: Do not use Texas compounder’s products intended as sterile

Health care providers should not use products intended as sterile made by North American Custom Laboratories LLC, FarmaKeio Superior Custom Compounding in Richardson, Texas, because the products may not be sterile, the Food and Drug Administration warned yesterday. Administering a non-sterile drug intended as sterile may result in life-threatening consequences, including infections and sepsis. FDA was not aware of any illness associated with using the drugs. The agency recommends providers and patients report unexpected side effects or quality problems associated with the drugs to its MedWatch program.
