Two Pharmacies Recall Drugs Due to Fears of Contamination
Want to avoid repeat of deadly fungal meningitis outbreak

Med Prep Consulting Inc. and Clinical Specialties Compounding Pharmacy both issued recalls after Med Prep found particles floating in five doses of a compounded solution, and Clinical Specialties got wind of five eye infections in patients who'd received compounded eye injections.
