DRUG COMPANY RECALLS ASTHMA MEDICINE

A Massachusetts generic drug company said Wednesday it is recalling millions of vials of an inhalation solution widely used by asthma patients and others with breathing problems.

Copley Pharmaceutical Inc. said some of its 20-milliliter Albuterol Sulfate Inhalation Solution was contaminated by microbial organisms.

It poses special risks of serious infection to people with compromised immune systems. - Associated Press
