AmEx Pharmacy Issues Voluntary Nationwide Recall for all Lots of Bevacizumab

AmEx Pharmacy has announces a voluntary recall of all Lots of Bevacizumab 1.25mg/0.05mL 31G Injectable and all Lots of Bevacizumab 2.5mg/0.1ml Normject TB Injectable that are within expiry to the healthcare provider level. These lots are being recalled out of an abundance of caution following an FDA inspection.

While all products associated with this voluntary recall passed compendial testing per USP 71 and USP 85, administration of a non-sterile drug product intended to be sterile may present the risk of infection.

The product involved in this recall is used for Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration and Diabetic Retinopathy. It is individually wrapped and labeled in a Tyvek pouch which is then placed in a labeled amber bag to protect from light. All Lots of Bevacizumab 1.25mg/0.05m 31G Injectable and Bevacizumab 2.5mg/0.1ml Normject TB Injectable are subject to this voluntary recall. The product can be identified by referencing the Lot number which is prominently displayed on the amber bag and Tyvek pouch of the product. The specific Lots were distributed nationwide to ophthalmologist clinics in the following states: AR, AZ, DC, DE, FL, GA, HI, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MN, MO, MS, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SD, TN, TX, UT, WA, WI, WV, and PR.

AmEx Pharmacy is notifying its consignees by email and overnight mail and is arranging for return of all recalled product. Administering physicians that have product which is being voluntarily recalled should stop use, remove from inventory and return to AmEx Pharmacy. All Lots of unexpired Bevacizumab products distributed by AmEx Pharmacy are affected by this voluntary recall.
