Centric Compounding Recalls Wellness Injectables Over Endotoxin Contamination

Centric Compounding Recalls Wellness Injectables Over Endotoxin Contamination

The FDA says elevated endotoxin in the glutathione ingredient tainted three IV blends pulled nationwide from prescriber offices and home delivery.

  • Recalled: Glutathione, Myers Cocktail, and Tri-Immune Boost, all sold in 30 mL vials.
  • Nine patients reported fever, chills, chest pain, nausea, headache, or malaise after injections.
  • FDA warns the tainted glutathione can trigger hypotension, anaphylactic shock, or death.

Why it matters: Compounded drugs get less testing than approved ones, so contamination shows up in patients, not before them.
