Piperacillin And Tazobactam For Injection, Usp 3.375g Vials By Auromedics Pharma: Recall- Vails Contain Particular Matter

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administrative Control (NAFDAC) has been informed by the US FDA that Auromedics Pharma is voluntarily recalling two lots of piperacillin and Tanzobactam sodium equivalent to 0.375g of Tanzobactam USP.
