Imported Heparin to be Tested

By Peopleslawyer

ADVERTISEMENTS
Today the FDA ordered the detention of all imported supplies of heparin blood-thinner products so they could be tested for possible contamination. Heparin is derived from pig intestines, and used in dialysis and heart procedures, among other surgeries, to avoid blood clots.

Five companies have agreed to test for the contaminant, which is a chemical similar to heparin, FDA officials said. The agency would not name the companies or say where they are located, but said they represented the majority of the U.S. heparin market.
