Heparin Sodium Injection

Active Ingredients: Heparin Sodium

Heparin Sodium Injection is a blood thinner that is used for the prevention and treatment of blood clots, such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. This anticoagulant drug is also used to treat clotting-related conditions and disorders like disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Heparin Sodium is typically administered in a hospital for urgent situations. It works quickly, but it is imperative to monitor a patient's bleeding risk through blood tests. This medication is also the first-choice treatment for pregnant women, as Heparin does not affect the fetus.

Heparin Sodium is classified as an anticoagulant or antithrombotic drug. It is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan that works by blocking the action of blood-clotting proteins within the blood. This activity prevents blood clots.
