By Steve Lombardi

More Heparin products have been voluntarily recalled on a nationwide basis.

The Food and Drug Administration has received reports of serious injuries and/or deaths in patients who have been administered Heparin injectable products of other companies containing this contaminant. As indicated in the notification issued by the supplier SPL, typical symptoms include anaphylactic-like reactions such as low blood pressure, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain.

If you've been injected with any drug products and have any of these reactions you should immediately contact your doctor or health care provider for a thorough examination. The manufacturer on this latest recall is B. Braun Medical Inc. who was notified by its supplier, Scientific Protein Laboratories LLC (SPL).
