Blood Clotting Drug, Heparin, Recalled By Baxter Health Care
Pharmaceutical giant, Baxter Healthcare has issued a drug recall on it's blood thinning drug, Heparin. The drug recall occurred on Friday, January 25, 2008 over safety concerns.
A preliminary drug recall took place on January 17 in the wake of numerous compaint from people over adverse effects, that have been reported to include abdominal pain, spiking blood pressure, nausea, shortness of breath, throat swelling and chest pain.
Baxter acknowledges that some of the adverse effects of the Heparin drug could be fatal, particularly in light of the fact that Heparin is mainly used by patients having or about to have various heart procedures. This in turn could lead to a flurry of wrongful death lawsuits.
