Another maker of the blood thinner Heparin has announced a recall, warning that the drug may be contaminated. B. Braun Medical Inc. has recalled 23 lots of Heparin but said in a press release that there had been no reports of adverse events.
Last month, Baxter International Inc. on at least a temporary basis stopped making multiple-dose vials of the injectable blood-thinning drug Heparin because of reports of serious allergic reactions and hypotension (low blood pressure) in patients who receive high "bolus" doses of the drug.
