Two other drugs produced by NECC turned out to be contaminated

It is widely discussed about the meningitis outbreak which has happened in certain states of America. Contaminated Methylprednisolone Acetate injections resulted in fungal meningitis in more than 500 persons. The contamination turned out to be tragic for 39 patients: they died. The majority of deaths took place in Tennessee.
It was claimed that contaminated steroid injections had been manufactured by the New England Compounding Center (NECC) that is based in Massachusetts. The FDA tested the compounding center in order to define what caused contamination and see the situation at the NECC. It was confirmed by the FDA that the contaminated steroid injections were really produced by this company.
The FDA told the Associated Press that it was evident that manufacture of products was unsterile at the NECC. The FDA said that leaking water and uncontrolled temperature were just several problems at the company. The equipment utilized for preparing of solution for injections was unsterile.
Furthermore, the FDA stated that there were some other contaminants. Several bacterial contaminants were found at the NECC. Although these contaminants were not real pathogens, they could lead to infection as well. These bacterial contaminants were found in such drugs, as Betamethasone and Triamcinolone. There were not any cases reported about contamination resulted from intake of these medications. But it was stated that these medications were also able to produce contamination. However the bacterial contaminants presented anywhere in the environment, they had not to be in medications. This fact pointed at unsterile conditions at the pharmacy and confirmed that the Methylprednisolone Acetate injections turned out to be contaminated with fungal meningitis because they were prepared in inappropriate conditions.
The situation made it clear that new laws on pharmacies should be established. Contamination should be avoided. Otherwise, health of Americans is in danger.
