Franck’s Compounding Pharmacy recalled all sterile compounds it distributed between Nov. 21, 2011, and May 21, 2012, and permanently ceased production of sterile compounds, the Ocala, Fla.-based company reported today.

They should also review patient records to determine any adverse events that may have resulted from the use of the recalled products and report the events to Franck’s and the FDA’s MedWatch program. <HOME>
