Subject: Heparin stayed on shelves despite recall
Comment:
"Nearly 100 pharmacists and the hospitals they work for face fines for failing to remove a blood thinner (Heparin) from their shelves after a federal recall last winter, a state agency said Thursday. The recalled drug heparin was found 94 times in inspections of all 533 hospitals in California * * *." Link. If this many instances of the drug remaining on shelves at hospitals and pharmacies was found by inspectors in California, how much of this drug stayed on shelves nationally? Did the drug manufacturer adequately get out notice of the recall?
