For months, KV has been complaining about the quality of some compounded versions of Makena. Specifically, KV has pointed to the troubles at the New England Compounding Center, which was blamed for 741 cases of meningitis, including 55 deaths, and subsequently recalled all of its products, including hydrxyprogesterone caproate, or 17P, which is a compounded version of Makena.
