Urgent Drug Alert: Some Drugs Recall Due to Cardiovascular Risks
An increasing number of drugs have recently been recalled from pharmacies and healthcare systems in many countries due to serious cardiovascular issues. Health authorities have identified a potential link between specific medications and life-threatening conditions such as blood clots, embolisms, strokes, and heart attacks.
Both patients and doctors should remain vigilant and aware of their needs.
š©ø Understanding Blood Clots (Thrombus)
Thrombus is an abnormal blood clot that forms in veins or arteries. Although clotting is essential to stopping bleeding, when it occurs in the bloodstream without damage, it can block blood flow to vital organs, leading to:
š« Pulmonary embolism (clot in the lungs)
š§ Stroke (clot in the brain)
ā¤ļø Heart attack (clot in the coronary arteries)
š¦µ Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
