Amerisource Health Services recalls Azacit: 100 mg lyophilized powder vials due to subpotent drug risk. Affected patients should contact their doctor for guidance.
Subpotent Drug
Amerisource Health Services is recalling Azacitidine for Injection vials that may contain a subpotent drug. This means the medication might not be as effective as it should be, which could impact treatment outcomes.
The drug is subpotent, meaning it contains less active ingredient than intended. This could result in the medication being less effective for treating certain cancers. However, it does not pose an immediate safety risk like injury or death.
Patients prescribed Azacitidine for Injection by a doctor. Those using the recalled vials may need to switch to a different medication.
Check for vials labeled 'Azacitidine for Injection, 100 mg Lyophilized Powder, Single-Dose Vials, Rx Only' with NDC 68001-0313-56 and lot number FE22001A. The expiration date is January 2024.
Talk to your healthcare provider about switching to a different medication if needed.
No, the recall is for a subpotent drug that may not be as effective, not a safety hazard like injury or death.
