According to the Associated Press, "Some lots of the blockbuster anemia treatments Epogen and Procrit were recalled because the injected drugs may contain glass flakes. Those could cause blood clots, swelling of veins, immune system reactions and other problems."
Amgen, the drug maker, claims that the flakes are caused by "interaction of the drug with glass vials over the product's shelf life."
If you or someone you know has been given Epogen or Procrit, contact your doctor or health care provider immediately.
