Have you experienced health complications from Heparin?


Many health complications have been associated with Heparin administered as high bolus shots (5000-50000 units via I.V. over a few minutes).

Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. is now reviewing claims of those who have been harmed by Heparin. Get a free legal review of your case when you complete the form below.

Heparin is often given to dialysis patients and people undergoing heart surgery.

Serious adverse events include:

  • oral swelling,
  • nausea,
  • vomiting,
  • sweating,
  • shortness of breath,
  • hypotension,
  • and anaphylactic shock.

    Most symptoms initiate within minutes of heparin administration, although delayed response is also possible.

    An FDA investigation has found a contaminant in the Heparin supply chain. The FDA has received reports of a total of 19 deaths and 785 serious events possibly linked to Heparin.

    Agency officials estimated that about 200 of them were allergic reactions. Severe reactions such as anaphylaxis and low blood pressure are signs of dangerous allergic reactions related to Heparin use.
