Did Sherman receive any contaminated steroid injections that are being linked to the fungal meningitis outbreak?

10-17-2012

No. Sherman did not receive any product from the three lots of potentially contaminated steroid injections that have been voluntarily recalled by Massachusetts-based New England Compounding Center (NECC).

The national recall affects a small number of patients who received spinal injections of the contaminated steroid methylprednisolone for the treatment of back pain.

Our pharmacy staff continually monitors drug recalls and takes every precaution to ensure the safety of our patients. We will keep you informed of any new developments.
