FDA Alert: Baxter's Multiple-dose Vial Heparin Linked to Severe Allergic Reactions
Get a free legal review of your case


The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently announced that Baxter Healthcare Corporation has temporarily ceased manufacturing multiple-dose vials of the injectable blood-thinning drug heparin due to reports of serious allergic reactions and hypotension (low blood pressure) in patients who receive high "bolus" doses of the drug.

Serious reactions to the drug have included difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting, excessive sweating, and rapidly falling blood pressure that can lead to life-threatening shock. Four people have died after receiving heparin, although the relationship to the drug is unclear.
