Heparin is the brand name of a drug widely used during many different medical procedures.

However, Heparin and other blood thinners continue to contribute to accidental overdoses and potential contamination issues that lead to severe and potentially fatal allergic reactions, causing injury or even death. 19 deaths have been reported due to Heparin alone.

Individuals to whom Heparin has been administered, and who have suffered adverse effects, have every legal right to address their losses and receive damages under medical malpractice laws.

Side effects from Heparin can include: Decrease in blood pressure Breathing difficulties Nausea and/or vomiting Chest pain

Allergic reactions can cause: Low blood pressure Shortness of breath Nausea and vomiting Diarrhea and abdominal pain
