The Arizona Attorney General's Office has issued a consumer alert regarding the sale of expired and potentially harmful compounded prescription medications by Slimming Grace in Kingman, Arizona. Situated at 1115 Stockton Hill Road, Suite 101, the medical office dispensed these compounded medications, which have surpassed their expiration dates and lack the stability and preservatives necessary for safe use. According to the official press release by the Arizona Attorney General's Office, these expired drugs could pose significant health risks to consumers, including potential contamination.
Compounded prescriptions are special mixes tailored for individual patients, typically provided after a medical assessment and with a valid prescription. Sold by Slimming Grace, some of these medications were identified as especially dangerous for expectant mothers and their unborn children, having been dispensed without requisite medical consultations or proper prescriptions. Despite being expired, the compounded medications were still being sold.
Patients who have obtained their medication from Slimming Grace are urged to seek immediate medical advice to evaluate any possible health risks they might be exposed to. The Attorney General's Office has also called upon consumers who had engaged with the medical office to contact them at 602-542-7977 to arrange for the proper disposal of these questionable medications.
The Arizona Board of Pharmacy, offering additional information and guidance, can be accessed through a link provided in the Attorney General's warning. Concerned individuals seeking further details or assistance can find resources to address their needs regarding these potentially dangerous medications. Pregnant women who might have used medication from Slimming Grace should consult with a healthcare professional without delay to ensure their safety and that of their unborn child.
