Recall Details

- April 15, 2013 - ApothéCure, Inc. is voluntarily recalling all lots of sterile products compounded by the pharmacy that are not expired to the user level. The recall is being initiated due to the lack of sterility assurance and concerns associated with the quality control processes.

In the event a sterile product is compromised patients are at risk for serious and possible life threatening infections. To date, ApothéCure, Inc. has received no reports of injury or illness associated with the use of our sterile products. However, out of abundance of caution and in the interest of our patients, ApothéCure, Inc. has decided to voluntarily proceed with this recall process.

These products were supplied to the offices of licensed medical professionals. ApothéCure's sterile products covered under this recall were distributed nationwide. ApotheCure will be notifying customers by fax to return the products to the pharmacy. The sterile products include all injectables with the clear message, "Independently tested for sterility," noted on the vials as well as the Apothe'Cure name.
