Par Sterile Products recalls Vasostrict (vasopressin) injections due to potential overdose risk from assay exceeding stability limits. This affects specific lot numbers and expiration dates.
Superpotent Drug: Assay from the 3-month and 6-month stability intervals exceeded the upper specification limit.
Par Sterile Products is recalling Vasostrict injections because the drug concentration may be too high, risking overdose. This is a serious issue for patients receiving intravenous treatments.
The drug's concentration may be higher than intended, which could lead to an overdose if administered. This is especially dangerous because vasopressin is a potent medication that can cause serious health issues if too much is given.
Patients prescribed Vasostrict injections for intravenous use are affected. Healthcare providers administering these injections are at highest risk due to the potential for severe overdose.
Check for vials labeled 'Vasostrict (vasopressin in 5% Dextrose) Injection, 20 units per 100 mL (0.2 units per mL), 100 mL x 10 Single Dose'. The lot number is 66702 and expiration date is February 2025.
Immediately stop using the recalled Vasostrict injections if you have them.
No, the product has been recalled due to potential overdose risk from higher-than-intended drug concentration.
Stop using it immediately and contact your healthcare provider for guidance.
Look for vials with lot number 66702 and expiration date February 2025.
