According to an article published in MedPage Today, seven
patients who were injected with corticosteroids from a compounding pharmacy in
Tennessee have become ill. The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) said that at
least one case is an apparent fungal infection.
The
agency said it was working with the CDC and authorities in Tennessee to
investigate the adverse events, linked to methylprednisolone acetate compounded
by Main Street Family Pharmacy in Newbern, Tenn.
The
FDA has recommended that healthcare providers not administer any products
labeled as sterile from Main Street and quarantine them until further guidance
is provided.
