| The United States: Talon Compounding Pharmacy Issues Voluntary Nationwide Recall of HCG and Sermorelin Due to Lack of Sterility Assurance |
| |
Talon Compounding Pharmacy (TCP) is voluntarily recalling all lots of lyophilized HCG and sermorelin aseptically compounded and packaged by TCP and that remain within expiry due to the Food and Drug Administration’s concern over a lack of sterility assurance. Although no complaints of illness or injury have been received regarding the recalled lots, administration of a sterile drug product intended to be sterile that is compromised can result in health hazards including risk of serious infection or other complications.
The sterile products were distributed to patients and providers nationwide between January 18 and July 18, 2016.
Please refer to the following website in FDA for details:

In Hong Kong, the above products are not registered pharmaceutical products and there are no registered products manufactured by the company in the US FDA announcement.
Ends/Saturday, July 23, 2016
Issued at HKT 12:00
