So what are we to do? I mean how would I know if my cancer center injected me with this batch? It almost sounds like they are speaking about individuals that have product shipped to their home?

I'm in Canada also is that matters.

Thanks Warriors

Company Announcement

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - SCHAUMBURG, IL – May 28, 2024 – Sagent Pharmaceuticals today announced the voluntary nationwide recall of two lots of Docetaxel Injection, USP (80 mg per 8 mL multi-dose vials and 160 mg per 16 mL multi-dose vials). The product was distributed by Sagent Pharmaceuticals. Sagent has initiated this voluntary recall of Docetaxel Injection, USP to the User Level as the result of a customer complaint due to potential presence of particulate matter from the stopper in the drug product.

Note: Docetaxel is a chemotherapy medication that targets and destroys fast-dividing cells, like cancer cells. It treats stomach cancers, head and neck cancer, lung cancer and prostate cancer. This medication is an injection that a healthcare provider will give you as an infusion into a vein at a hospital or clinic.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
