WALTHAM, Mass. (WAVY) - A voluntary recall was issued after particles were discovered in two lots of Progesterone made in Massachusetts.

Village Fertility Pharmacy is conducting the recall of the following products:

  • Progesterone Injection Cottonseed Oil 50 MG/ML
  • Progesterone Injection Olive Oil 50 MG/ML, 100 MG/ML
  • Progesterone Injection Sesame Oil 50 MG/ML, 100 MG/ML
  • Progesterone Injection Ethyl Oleate 50 MG/ML, 100 MG/ML
  • Hydroxy Progesterone Caproate 250 MG/ML
  • Compounded Leuprolide Acetate 1MG/.2ML

 

“We are working cooperatively with all government agencies and are awaiting the results of the investigation,” according to Stuart Levine, president of Village Fertility Pharmacy. “While no patients have reported any adverse effects, we believe the prudent course is to recall all of these medications.”

Anyone with questions can call the recall hotline at 1-888-965-5813.
