Pharmacy Recall Due to Possible Fungal Contamination

Updated Recall Information: On June 6, 2013, the FDA reported that it has identified bacterial and fungal growth in samples from two unopened vials of preservative-free (PF) methylprednisolone acetate (MPA) manufactured by Main Street Family Pharmacy. The microbial growth was seen in samples from two separate lots. Additional samples and lots of PF MPA are still under evaluation, as well as other sterile products produced by Main Street. The FDA has received reports of skin and soft tissue abscesses associated with Main Street Family Pharmacy MPA.

Main Street Family Pharmacy, LLC has recalled of all lots of all products marketed as sterile that were compounded by the pharmacy. The compounded products that are subject to the recall are those products with a use by date on or before November 20, 2013.

The recall is being initiated due to seven (7) reported cases of adverse events in the form of skin abscesses, one of which appears to be fungal in nature. An investigation into the exact source of the adverse events is still ongoing.

Patients are at increased risk for serious infections in the event a sterile product is compromised. To date, Main Street Family Pharmacy, LLC has only received reports of adverse events in three (3) lots of preservative-free methylprednisolone acetate (MPA).

These products were supplied to the offices of licensed medical professionals and patients nationwide. The sterile products include all injectables with the Main Street Family Pharmacy name.
