In the News- Counterfeit Avastin
February 16, 2012: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning Health care professionals and patients about a counterfeit version of Avastin 400mg/16mL, which may have been purchased and used by some medical practices in the United States. Avastin is an injectable medicine used to treat cancer.
Epic Care has investigated our supply chain and confirmed that we do not have and will not receive the counterfeit version of Avastin. As an extra precaution we have also been informed and trained on how to identify the counterfeit version of Avastin.
The Avastin used at Epic Care is FDA approved and purchased through legitimate licensed sources in the United States. Our Avastin supply is safe to use and our patients have not been put at risk.
