Meet heparin, the drug most people have never heard of ๐
Itโs the blood thinner used in tons of heart attacks, clots, and surgeries. Made from pig intestine, and we source almost all of it from overseas ๐
Supply got cut off once and hospitals had to ration it. From what Iโm seeing, itโs tight again right now โ ๏ธ
Most people have no idea how fragile some of our key meds really are.
What drug should I break down next? ๐
