A Chinese facility that has never been inspected by the U.S. FDA made the active ingredient of a blood-thinner that is under investigation after reports of hundreds of allergic reactions and four deaths among its users.
Time to write my congressman again.

Our son takes a daily antibiotic for his acne. I’ve noticed a distinct difference between the effectiveness of the branded product and the supposedly equivalent generic item. The drug store has hissy fits when I insist on the branded item, but I suspect the generic is being manufactured in China and is not at full strength. It’s as though he’s taking sugar pills - zero effectiveness. When he switches back, his skin improves in a few days. Very disturbing.
What now, polar bear liver or rat poison?
A dose of Heparin is routinely given us before each of our thrice-weekly treatments. It is to avoid clotting in the dialysis machine, tubing and filter. Or in the veinous grafts some of us have in our arms.
Dialysis patients be aware.
I received Heparin shots in my stomach, every day, when I was in the hospital with Atrial Fibrillation, during Christmas week. The only side effect was bruising, and with my stretch marks going through one of them, it looked like a football with lacings! LOL! When I went in for a Heart Catheterization, I pointed it out to the nurses and one of them suggested they write “Go Patriots” under it. ;o)
