“Wells Pharmacy Network recalls Testosterone Pellets: Superpotent drug risk.” GovInfoNow, updated October 9, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/42430-wells-pharmacy-network-recalls-testosterone-pellets-superpotent-drug-risk. Based on FDA recall #D-0126-2017 (https://api.fda.gov/drug/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22D-0126-2017%22&limit=1).

Why it’s dangerous

The pellets may contain drug levels that are too high (superpotent) or too low (subpotent) compared to intended medical use. This could cause harmful effects such as hormone imbalances or treatment failure.

Who’s affected

People who have received testosterone pellets compounded by Wells Pharmacy Network between October 2016 and January 2017 are affected. Those with medical conditions requiring precise hormone levels are at higher risk.
