Baxter Recalls IV Drugs With Steel and Fiberglass | Augusta Georgia News

Baxter International just issued a voluntary recall for two critical drugs—70% Dextrose Injection and Anticoagulant Sodium Citrate Solution—after discovering potential steel and fiberglass particles that could cause serious, even life-threatening, health issues. The dextrose, used for IV nutrition, was shipped nationwide in early July; the sodium citrate, used during medical procedures, went to one U.S. customer between mid-July and early August. Both were packaged in VIAFLEX containers. No adverse reactions have been reported yet, but Baxter is contacting customers directly with next steps. This isn’t their first recall—last month they pulled another injection after finding cardboard contamination. If you or someone you know relies on these products, stay alert.
