Amneal Pharmaceuticals recalls IV magnesium sulfate bags that were mistakenly labeled as magnesium sulfate but contain tranexamic acid. This mix-up could cause serious harm if used in medical procedures.
Product mix up: a foil pouch labeled "Magnesium Sulfate in Water for Injection, 4 g/100 mL" actually contained an IV bag of Tranexamic Acid instead.
Amneal Pharmaceuticals is recalling IV magnesium sulfate bags that were mistakenly labeled as magnesium sulfate but contain tranexamic acid instead. Using these bags could cause serious harm during medical procedures.
The IV bags were labeled as magnesium sulfate but actually contain tranexamic acid, a different medication. Tranexamic acid is used for bleeding control, not magnesium sulfate, so using it in place of magnesium sulfate could cause dangerous effects during medical treatments.
Healthcare providers who use these IV bags for medical procedures are at risk. Patients receiving these bags could face serious harm if the wrong drug is administered.
Look for IV bags labeled "Magnesium Sulfate in Water for Injection, 4 g/100 mL" in cartons of 12 bags. The product was manufactured by Amneal Pharmaceuticals in India with lot number AH250162 and expires August 31, 2027.
Discard the IV bags if you have them, as they contain the wrong medication.
