The Menz Club, LLC is
conducting a recall of V Maxx RX of the following lot numbers:

A lab analysis of V Maxx Rx Lot #
101109 distributed by The Menz Club, LLC was found to contain undeclared
sulfoaidenafil. Sulfoaidenafil is an analog of sildenafil, an FDA approved

unapproved new drug. The Menz Club is recalling the above listed lots of this
product which can pose a serious risk to health. Since the product has the same
formulation, additional lots are being recalled.
The affected products may have been
ordered online at www.vmaxxrx.com
or www.themenzclub.net and
were distributed to customers and distributors nationwide. This product is
marketed as a dietary supplement intended for use as a male enhancement product
and is packaged in one (1) and five (5) count blister packs and ten (10) count
bottles.
The Menz Club, LLC is notifying its
customers and distributors by email and/or phone to return or destroy all
recalled products. Any consumer having V Maxx Rx should immediately stop using
it and destroy the unused product or return it to ATTN: Product Returns,
The Menz Club, LLC, P. O. Box 906, Madison, MS 39110. Customers with
questions may call (601) 866-6746 Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM CDT

Compounded Prescription
Recall
All Sterile Human and
Veterinary Prescriptions Distributed by Franck’s Pharmacy From November 21,

human and veterinary sterile preparations that have left our control.
Accordingly, we are extending the recall to all sterile preparations we have
provided since November 21, 2011.
If any of these sterile
preparations remains under your control, it is essential that you do not use
them and that employing appropriate practices, you destroy all such sterile
preparations and all remaining portions of such sterile preparations.
We will update you with any relevant
details as they become available to us. If you have any questions please call us

P.F. 80mg/ml and instituted a recall. The recall involved five physicians and eight prescriptions. The physicians have been contacted and all prescriptions accounted. As a precaution Franck’s Lab has recalled one additional lot of triamcinolone acetonide
P.F. 80mg/ml. All offices have been contacted. If you have any concerns or questions regarding a prescription of triamcinolone acetonide or product containing triamcinolone acetonide received from Franck’s do not hesitate to contact us.
