Anaphylaxis Risk Prompts Nationwide Recall of BREXAFEMME® Tablets
Brexafemme Anaphylaxis Lawsuits
JERSEY CITY, N.J., September 27, 2023 — SCYNEXIS, Inc. has initiated a voluntary recall spanning the entire nation for two lots of BREXAFEMME® (ibrexafungerp tablets) at the consumer level in the U.S. The recall arises due to concerns of potential cross contamination with a non-antibacterial beta-lactam compound found in the ibrexafungerp citrate utilized in manufacturing BREXAFEMME® tablets.
The potential contamination was identified during an inspection of manufacturing equipment and cleanliness protocols at a supplier’s facility, informing SCYNEXIS of the probable risk of contamination with a non-antibacterial beta-lactam compound. This article offers supplementary details regarding the voluntary recall as recently disclosed by SCYNEXIS.
This potential contamination with a non-antibacterial beta-lactam compound might provoke hypersensitivity reactions in some individuals, including swelling, rashes, urticaria, and potentially severe and life-threatening reaction known as anaphylaxis. At present, no reports of adverse reactions attributable to potential beta-lactam cross contamination have been received by SCYNEXIS.
BREXAFEMME® is a medication prescribed for the management of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and to decrease the occurrence of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC).
