Lack of Assurance of Sterility: FDA inspection revealed insanitary conditions at the facility.
Pharmacy Innovations is recalling several prostaglandin E1 injection vials because an FDA inspection found unsanitary conditions at their facility. This could mean the products are not sterile and might cause infections if used.
The FDA found unsanitary conditions at Pharmacy Innovations' manufacturing facility. This lack of sterility could lead to infections if the injections are used, as the products may not be safe for medical administration.
