The Florida pharmacy, based in Boca Raton and called Rejuvi Pharmaceuticals, prepares injectable drugs and medications. The Florida health department said in a statement that it violated "a number" of statutes and rules.
Rejuvi
Pharmaceuticals' website says it makes "bio identical hormones" and
compounded medications. No other information on its products was
available and Rejuvi was not immediately available for a comment.
Compounding pharmacies mix large quantities of prescription drugs, typically for use by doctors and clinics.
Regulators are
scrutinizing these pharmacies after thousands of vials of contaminated
injectable steroids were shipped from a New England compounding
facility, leading to 25 deaths so far from fungal meningitis. Hundreds
more patients were sickened from the steroid shots, which were used to
treat back and neck pain.
