Med Prep Consulting, Inc. recalled all lots of all products compounded at its facility after the pharmacy was notified by a Connecticut hospital that it observed visible particulate contaminants in 50 ml bags of MAGNESIUM SULFATE 2GM IN DEXTROSE 5% IN WATER, 50ML FOR INJECTION intravenous solution. This contaminant was confirmed to be MOLD. These were unique and distinct lots of the magnesium sulfate bags compounded and dispensed by the pharmacy to the Connecticut hospital. At this time a total of five (5) contaminated bags were discovered.
“We are representing dozens of patients injected by a steroid medication manufactured by another company licensed as a compounding pharmacy,” said Attorney Fred Pritzker, whose firm just today filed a lawsuit on behalf of a woman with fungal meningitis from injections manufactured by NECC.

Administration of an intravenous product found to be contaminated with mold could result in a fatal infection in a broad array of patients.
The recalled products are used for a wide range of therapeutic uses for hospitalized inpatients and outpatients, and, patients directly treated by a health care professional at a physician’s office practice facility or clinic. Products packaged in plastic infusion bags, plastic infusion devices, plastic syringes and glass vials were distributed directly to regional hospital pharmacies located in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Delaware. Products packaged in plastic syringes only, were distributed nationwide to physician’s office practice facilities and clinics. All of these products were distributed to the described users through March 13, 2013, from Tinton Falls, New Jersey to both regional and nationwide locations.
According it its website, Med Prep is a specialty intravenous I.V. pharmacy licensed by the State of New Jersey as a Central Fill IV Compounding Pharmacy. The company’s website stresses the cost savings health care providers can get by using the company’s products. We think the primary consideration should be be cost savings, but patient safety. No company should sell drugs contaminated with mold. There is no excuse.
