Company announcement
Sandoz Inc. is recalling one lot of Cefazolin for Injection, USP, 1 gram per vial, nationwide due to mispackaging.
Some cartons contained Penicillin G Potassium for Injection vials instead of Cefazolin.
The recall was initiated after a customer complaint.
Risk:
There is a reasonable probability that the inadvertent administration of penicillin G potassium injection, instead of intended cefazolin injection, may pose serious and potentially life-threatening adverse health consequences, including lack of efficacy leading to less than optimal treatment of severe infections, antibiotic resistance, adverse reactions, severe allergic reactions (e.g., anaphylaxis), drug interactions, cardiac arrhythmias resulting from high potassium especially in patients with kidney impairment, and delayed recovery.
Impacted states: Nationwide
Products:
- Cefazolin for Injection, USP, 1 gram per vial
