    Emails: Urget Drug Recall for Dr. Lee's products

    So we all know that big pharma shut him down, I did find it interesting that not all of the members on here known to be taking his products received this email:
    ==================================

    Urgent Drug Recall
    Regrowth, LLC
    7049 Greenleaf Avenue
    Whittier, CA 90602

    Dear<name>

    This is to inform you of a product recall involving all of the products prescribed and dispensed to you by Regrowth, LLC.
    The recall has been initiated because the U.S. FDA has determined that these products were unapproved by the FDA and may be potential health hazards.
    This is a comprehensive list of the Regrowth LLC products:
    Product ID Description
    002 Retin-A .025% Solution 60 mL bottle
    003 Retin-A .05% Solution 60 mL bottle

    925 12.5% ******* (12.5% Minoxidil/5% Azelaic Acid) Lotion 125 mL bottle
    930 12.5% ******* (12.5% Minoxidil/5% Azelaic Acid) Lotion 30 mL bottle
    940 *******15 Solution (15% Minoxidil/5% Azelaic Acid) 125 mL bottle
    948 ******* 15-Plus Solution (15% Minoxidil/5% Azelaic Acid/0.1% Finasteride) 125 mL bottle

    The medication or medications you have received contain one or more of the following active ingredients:
    Minoxidil [1]
    Azelaic Acid [2]
    Finasteride[3]
    Spironolactone[4]
    Retinoic Acid[5]
    Ketoconazole[6]
    Salicylic Acid[7]

    [1] Minoxidil can cause a decrease in the blood pressure, an increase in the heart rate, dizziness on standing (orthostatic hypotension), lightheadedness, headaches and swollen feet/hands.

    [2] Azelaic acid can cause hypopigmentation in darkly pigmented patients. It can also make the skin where it is applied more sensitive to sunburn.
    [3] Finasteride can cause erectile dysfunction, decreased libido and testicular pain. Finasteride use is contraindicated in women when they are or may potentially be pregnant. Finasteride use may have the potential to cause abnormalities of the external genitalia of a male fetus of a pregnant woman.
    [4] Spironolactone applied topically is quickly and completely metabolized. The metabolic products can cause vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain or cramps, dry mouth, thirst, dizziness, headache, gynecomastia and irregular menses.
    [5] Retinoic acid can cause burning and stinging of the skin, lightening of the skin in the treated area, peeling, redness, an unusually warm feeling and unusual dryness.
    [6] Ketoconazole in a shampoo can cause hair discoloration and abnormal hair texture, removal of the curl from permanently waved hair, itching, skin burning sensation and contact dermatitis, alopecia, rash, urticaria, skin irritation and dry skin.
    [7] Salicylic acid can cause mild, temporary burning, itching, irritation, or stinging.

      I hear you on that. Here's a follow up email I got just now from Regrowth:
      =======================

      Dear <name>

      You have received an email from Regrowth LLC with the heading of _Urgent Drug Recall_. In fact, there is no urgency at all
      . The Recall Notifications, which ask if you have used or destroyed the Regrowth LLC product(s), was not sent from or by the FDA. But it was the FDA that mandated Regrowth LLC send the Recall Notifications, using their guidelines for the quarantine and for the disposal of the products(s), thereby making our products appear to be 'dangerous'. This is simply not the case. The products(s) are not in any way contaminated or otherwise defective. We're very sorry to have caused you all this consternation and confusion and for ourselves for the outcome of the FDA audit, which resulted in the close of Regrowth LLC and the inability to continue servicing your needs.
