Turbid Ferrous Sulfate Solution

One of our pharmacists noticed turbidity in a ferrous sulfate solution stock bottle that had been opened less than a month ago. We are unsure if this is due to contamination from mishandling by our staff or if there is a problem with the product itself.

Please share if you have experienced a similar issue.

Product details:
Ferrous sulfate solution
15 mg of elemental iron per ml
Patrin Pharma
NDC: 39328-557-50
Lot: M1054
Exp: 12/24

Thanks,
