Norbrook Laboratories Limited of Newry, United Kingdom recalled 34 batches of veterinary injectable drugs to the veterinary/consumer level as a preventive measure because the sterility of the products cannot be guaranteed. There is concern that if the sterility of these products is compromised, the use of these products may lead to the introduction of infectious sources into animals. This may result in the need for medical intervention, including but not limited to the need for supportive care, antibiotics and/or antifungal drugs. The intravenous administration of non-sterile drugs is particularly worrying because of the risk of rapid systemic transmission of infectious agents, which may lead to animal sepsis and death.

Norbrook Laboratories Limited found that the products tested, released and distributed in the United States were produced on an aseptic production line and subsequently failed the process simulation test. Norbrook attaches great importance to safety and product quality at every step of the manufacturing and supply chain process. Although it is impossible to eliminate the possibility of violating sterility guarantees in distributed products, it has not been determined that any batches of products contain microorganisms.
