FDA Warns That Baxter's Heparin Should Not Be Used

The FDA just warned consumers and the health care community that Heparin, made by Baxter Health Care, should not be used. Heparin has been linked to numerous illnesses and the deaths of at least a handful of people.

Before FDA issued this warning, Baxter asserted that it would stop making the defective medicine after it was reported that people were experiencing allergic reactions, which occurred within minutes after ingestion and included rapid heartbeat, nausea and swelling.

If you or a loved one has been adversely affected by this or any other defective or recalled medicine, I would invite you to visit my website, www.samlevine.com or contact my office, Sam Levine, Attorney at Law.
