Baxter Healthcare supplies more than half of the total Heparin supplied in the United States. An increase in the number of reports of adverse reactions and one possible death that may be associated with the product made the company recall Heparin from the market in 2008. Initially only certain batches of Heparin were recalled but soon the company recall Heparin. Heparin is made from pig intestines and used in dialysis and in cardiac surgeries. Heparin can result in adverse reactions including stomach pain or discomfort; nausea; vomiting; diarrhea; low blood pressure; chest pain; fast heart rate; dizziness; fainting; unresponsiveness; shortness of breath; tachycardia; drug ineffectiveness; burning sensation; redness or paleness of skin; abnormal sensation of the skin, mouth, or lips; flushing; increased sweating; decreased skin sensitivity; headache; feeling unwell; restlessness; watery eyes; throat swelling; thirst; and difficulty opening the mouth. In other words, pretty much anything out of the ordinary. Sometimes these reactions can be severe. In Baxter’s case, the active ingredient was manufactured in China. There were problems in the Chinese heparin manufacturing process and as a result Heparin had to be recalled. If you are or one of your loved ones is suffering from the side effects of Heparin, you may be entitled to compensation for the sufferings.
