The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Saturday certain lots of the supplement L-citrulline, used to treat genetic disorders found mostly in children, sold by compounding firm Medisca Inc were found to contain none of the drug, and warned doctors and patients not to use it.
The FDA said testing by Medisca indicated that those lots at issue did not contain L-citrulline. The agency said L-citrulline is used to treat certain urea cycle disorders, rare genetic conditions primarily diagnosed in children.
The company said in a statement that its investigation of the lots found that they did not contain L-citrulline “and therefore represent a potential health hazard. These lots should not be used for any purpose.”
