What should I do if I have taken contaminated Clexane?
A. If you believe you may have previously taken Clexane from a contaminated batch you should not be alarmed. The serious adverse reactions of the kind reported in the US were only seen with contaminated heparin given directly into the veins whereas Clexane is usually given as an injection into the tissues. However if you have had any adverse reaction that you think may be linked to your use of Clexane, you should ask your doctor to report it to the TGA’s Adverse Drug Reactions Unit at the following web address https://www.tgasime.health.gov.au/SIME/ADRS/ADRSRepo.nsf?OpenDatabase or via email to adrac@tga.gov.au Q.
