Heparin, an anticoagulant designed to decrease the blood’s ability to clot, has been prescribed to thousands of individuals throughout the U.S. Nearly all the lots of the drug supplied by Baxter International, a company that provides half of the heparin used in the U.S., were recalled in February 2008 after they were linked to hundreds of serious injuries and several deaths.
