At-Home IV Recall Warns of Potentially Fatal Endotoxin Risk
The products were shipped directly to patients through home delivery services and were also delivered to healthcare prescribers.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is recalling six lots of compounded intravenous wellness products from Centric Compounding LLC due to elevated endotoxin levels. Endotoxins are bacterial toxins that can cause severe immune reactions when introduced directly into the bloodstream. The recall covers Glutathione, Myer's Cocktail, and Tri-Immune Boost injectable vials used to support immunity, combat fatigue, and promote general wellness.
Nine adverse event reports have been filed, with symptoms including fever, chills, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, headache, and malaise. The FDA warns that intravenous exposure can lead to serious medical events, such as low blood pressure, inflammatory reactions, anaphylactic shock, sepsis-like symptoms, and death. Patients in possession of the affected vials are advised to stop using them immediately and discard them, then contact a healthcare provider if they experience adverse symptoms.
