Roxane Laboratories, out of concern for the health of patients using its medicines, announced that batch 856396A of Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate Suspension contains a strain of yeast that could affect people with weak immune systems. The company says the contamination may come from a batch of high-density polyethylene used in the containers.
The yeast can cause various symptoms depending on the patient's immune system, including thrush, skin rash and blood infection (sepsis), so patients with any of these symptoms should see a doctor at once.
Roxane has recalled this batch and batch 856693A, which used the same containers. Its other products meet specifications for effectiveness and quality.
