Why it’s dangerous

Rocuronium Bromide is a paralyzing agent used in medical settings. The absence of the required "WARNING: PARALYZING AGENT" label means healthcare workers might not immediately recognize the extreme potency and risks associated with the drug, potentially leading to accidental exposure or misuse.

Who’s affected

Healthcare providers and facilities in the United States that received the affected lots of this prescription drug are likely to be affected. Patients who received treatment with these specific vials may also be at risk if the missing warning led to improper use.

How to tell if you have this one

Check for Rocuronium Bromide Injection 50mg/5 mL in 5mL Multi-Dose Vials manufactured by Sanovel Ilac. Look for NDC 66794-0228-41 and Lot numbers 20415001 or 20415002 with an expiration date of 05/2022.
