FDA Warns Doctors Over Recalled Drugs

From Times Wire Reports
The Food and Drug Administration issued an urgent warning to doctors to stop using medicines that were supposed to be recalled because of questions about purity and potency.
Recalled are 39 medicines injected in doctors’ offices, including a gout drug that sickened three Philadelphia patients last month because the drug was 10 times more potent than usual.
The products were made by Amram Inc. of Rathdrum, Idaho, and sold by Phyne Pharmaceuticals of Scottsdale, Ariz.
