Since heparin sodium in this product is derived from animal tissue, it should be used with caution in patients with a history of allergy.

My wife had an allergic reaction to Heparin given as a PICC line flush. That was over a year ago and she has not yet recovered. Basically, since the reaction, she has not been able to move more than very minor movements with her index fingers and head.
