Waltham fertility pharmacy recalls compounded medications

Village Fertility Pharmacy of Waltham is conducting a voluntary recall of compounded medications shipped over the past three months.

The recall resulted after particulate was discovered in a small percentage of two lots of Progesterone, according to the business. Immediately upon learning of the situation, Village contacted the Massachusetts Board of Pharmacy.

After an initial investigation, Village and the Massachusetts Board of Pharmacy decided to expand the recall to include one other medication, Leuprolide. More testing is being conducted and results will be released in the coming days.

"We are working cooperatively with all government agencies and are awaiting the results of the investigation," said 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."

The recall includes:

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
