According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Bristol-Myers Squibb Co has initiated a voluntary recall of their blood thinner, Coumadin. The pharmaceutical company decided to recall six lots of the injectable version of this blood thinner after finding particulate matter in some unreleased samples.
Bristol-Myers called the recall a “precautionary measure” and claimed there have been no drug injuries reported in association with this drug. The recall was initiated after investigators detected some contaminated 5 mg single-use vials.
No Coumadin tablets were included in the recall, which only coves lots of the injectable form distributed in the United States between November 2011 and January 2014.
