FDA announces recall of cefazolin by Sandoz for mislabeling

The Food and Drug Administration July 15 announced a recall by Sandoz on certain lots of cefazolin, due to the lots being mislabeled as penicillin G potassium. The FDA said the inadvertent administration of cefazolin following a recommended dosage of penicillin G potassium could pose serious and potentially life-threatening health consequences. Sandoz has not received any reports of adverse events or injuries related to the mislabeling but has received a complaint of the mislabeled product being administered to a patient.
