The drug has been on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) drug shortage list since 2017. However, shortages have been exacerbated recently, as research shows that between 25 and 40 percent of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 develop blood clots and require medications like heparin upon admission. These same patients remain at risk for clots up to 90 days post-discharge and that may extend the need for anticoagulation therapy.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cPremier data shows that demand for anti-clotting medications can spike by as much as 46 percent during surge periods,\u201d said Premier\u2019s President, Michael J. Alkire. \u201cAs COVID-19 cases increase across the country, the partnership between Premier and Fresenius Kabi will help avoid shortages for the benefit of the patients who need this life-saving drug. Longer term, a ready supply of heparin is a pre-condition for resuming routine and elective procedures in the hospital setting.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nHeparin has historically experienced supply volatility due to difficulties associated with obtaining the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) necessary to make it. API for heparin is derived from porcine intestines. Estimates suggest that approximately <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cfr.org%2Fin-brief%2Fcoronavirus-disrupt-us-drug-supply-shortages-fda&amp;esheet=52330765&amp;newsitemid=20201118005383&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=45+percent+of+all+the+API+used&amp;index=3&amp;md5=78d6bac8067f56f1926247f1d944791b\">45 percent of all the API used<\/a> to make heparin is sourced from China. This overreliance has led to shortages when quality problems and other supply chain disruptions occur. To help mitigate this problem and assure adequate supply to meet a potential future surge in demand, Fresenius Kabi sources its raw materials from multiple regions.\n<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fresenius-kabi.com.us&amp;esheet=52330765&amp;newsitemid=20201118005383&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Fresenius+Kabi&amp;index=4&amp;md5=db0707a6d37494dc28e82a356e61c014\">Fresenius Kabi<\/a> is a global healthcare company that specializes in medicines and technologies for infusion, transfusion and clinical nutrition. It is a leading provider of generic injectables for U.S. hospitals and is known for its award-winning service.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cSourcing heparin has been an ongoing challenge,\u201d said Dr. Michael Molby, pharmacy supply chain manager for Atrium Health, a Premier member hospital system based in Charlotte, North Carolina. \u201cHaving a resilient and reliable supply chain is essential. This is something that\u2019s needed in intensive care units, especially during this time when we\u2019re dealing with higher patient numbers due to COVID-19.
