Heparin Suspected as Cause in More Deaths
Sixty two people are now suspected of dying from use of Heparin. The Food and Drug Administration is analyzing the heparin deaths.
It has not been established how the additive, oversulfated chondroitin sulfate, ended up in heparin. The material is less expensive to produce than the actual drug which raises concerns of involvement of counterfeiters.
Due to the deaths lawsuits will likely be filed against Baxter and the other manufacturers involved.
