Description

Heparin Sodium 5000 U/mL is an anticoagulant used to prevent and treat thromboembolic disorders such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and myocardial infarction. It works by inhibiting thrombin and other clotting factors, effectively preventing the formation and extension of blood clots.

Heparin Sodium is typically administered intravenously or subcutaneously in a healthcare setting under strict medical supervision. It is available in multiple-dose vials containing 5000 U/mL, with each vial containing 1 mL of solution. The dosing of Heparin is tailored based on the patient's clinical condition and the desired level of anticoagulation, with regular monitoring of clotting parameters such as activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT).

This anticoagulant is essential in preventing thromboembolic complications, especially in patients undergoing surgeries, catheterizations, or those with certain medical conditions such as atrial fibrillation. Heparin is used in managing patients with acute coronary syndrome and as a preventive measure in patients at risk for deep vein thrombosis.
