On Sept. 17, 2024, Bionpharma Inc. recalled one lot of Atovaquone Oral Suspension because it was found to be contaminated with the bacteria Cohnella. In immunocompromised individuals, this could pose a risk for serious or deadly infections in areas of the heart or soft tissue. Atovaquone is an antimicrobial drug used for the prevention or treatment of infections, including lung infections caused by pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia in adults and adolescents aged 13 years and older.
