Sagent Pharmaceuticals Issues Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Methylprednisolone Sodium Succinate for Injection, USP, 40mg, 125mg, and 1g Due to High Out of Specification Impurity Results

March 6, 2018 By The FDA Leave a Comment

Sagent Pharmaceuticals, Inc. today announced the voluntary nationwide recall of ten lots of Methylprednisolone Sodium Succinate for Injection, USP, 40mg, 125mg, and 1g. A detailed listing of products and lots is listed below. These products were manufactured by Gland Pharma Ltd. and distributed by Sagent Pharmaceuticals.
