Apotex Corp. Issues Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Fluticasone Propionate Nasal Spray

On May 31, 2018, Apotex announced a voluntary recall of one lot of fluticasone propionate nasal spray because some bottles were found to contain small glass particles which could block the actuator and impact the functionality of the pump.

Per Apotex, there is a potential for patients to be exposed to the glass particles and mechanical irritation cannot be ruled out. Local trauma to the nasal mucosa might occur with use of the defective product.  OptumRx notified members who may be affected by this recall. These members were provided information to help them identify if their product is being recalled and advised to stop use of the recalled product.

If you have any questions, please call OptumRx at 877-399-0329 (message line). You may also call Apotex at 800-706-5575 (8:30 a.m. -5:00 p.m. EST, Monday thru Friday) or email at UScustomerservice@Apotex.com for more information about this recall click here for more info.
