Optimal Balance Pharmacy Issues Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Certain Lots of Compounded Glutathione 200 mg/mL Multi-Dose Vials Due to Elevated Endotoxin Levels
FDA Drug recall issued Aug 19, 2026.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – August 19, 2026 – Houston, Texas, Optimal Balance Pharmacy is voluntarily recalling one lot of Compounded Glutathione 200 MG/ML 30 ML Multi-Dose Vials to the patient level. The product is being recalled because pharmacy testing identified elevated bacterial endotoxin levels.
Check the lot code, best-by date, and package size on the agency notice before you throw anything out — most recalls cover only a few production runs, not the whole brand.
Do not open or taste a recalled food to judge it. Contamination like listeria, salmonella, or undeclared allergens has no smell or taste.
Wash anything the product touched — shelves, cutting boards, containers — with hot soapy water, then sanitize.
Keep the receipt or a photo of the label. Nearly every food recall includes a full refund with no receipt required, but a photo speeds it up.
If you or a family member got sick, call your doctor first, then report it to the agency using the link on the notice. Illness reports are how the recall gets widened.
