WASHINGTON, Dec 8 (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Baxter International Inc. (BAX.N: Quote, Profile , Research) notified doctors that the drug Heparin could be linked to thrombosis or blood clots in patients several weeks after they stop taking it, the agency said on Friday.

The FDA said it revised the warnings section of the prescribing information for Heparin, a blood thinner, because of the possibility of delayed onset of thrombocytopenia and thrombosis. The agency described that as a "serious antibody-mediated reaction resulting from irreversible aggregation of platelets."

This "could" be a major positive for NUVO as they are testing rNAPc2 as a replacement drug for Heparin.
