SODIUM HEPARINATE
Sodium Heparinate is an anticoagulant used to prevent and treat blood clots. It functions by inhibiting the formation of thrombin, a key enzyme in blood clotting, thus reducing the risk of thrombosis and embolism.-Prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) -Pulmonary embolism (PE) -Prevention of clot formation during medical procedures
-Adults: Typically, the dosage is individualized based on the patient's condition and response. Usual starting doses range from 5,000 to 10,000 units every 8 to 12 hours, adjusted as needed. -Pediatric: Dosage should be determined by a healthcare provider.
-Active bleeding or bleeding disorders -Severe liver or kidney disease -Hypersensitivity to heparin or its derivatives
-Monitor for signs of bleeding and adjust dosage accordingly. -Regular blood tests are required to monitor the effect of the drug and adjust the dose. -Use with caution in patients with a history of gastrointestinal bleeding or recent surgery.
-Bleeding or hemorrhage -Thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) -Allergic reactions (rash, itching) -Pain or irritation at the injection site
-May increase the risk of bleeding when used with other anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin, aspirin). -Caution with NSAIDs due to increased bleeding risk. -Interactions with drugs that affect platelet function may alter the effectiveness of Sodium Heparinate.
