As per special email I just saw from medpagetoday.com

"APP Pharmaceuticals has recalled five lots of irinotecan hydrochloride, used to treat metastatic colorectal cancer, because fungal contamination was found in one lot"

Do not know how large a "lot" is,lot #s involved listed in brief newsflash.....


Concludes:"No adverse events related to the recalled product have been reported"

Not meant to scare, only to inform.........steve
