Amneal recalls 2 lots of hospital anesthetic over plastic contamination fears
Amneal is recalling two ropivacaine lots due to the risk that the anesthetic could contain inert “fibers” that leeched into the product from its IV bag. Patients could suffer serious side effects if the contaminated drug is delivered epidurally or inadvertently administered to the intrathecal space via the spinal canal, Amneal warned in a recall notice.
