HEPARITZ 25000 INJECTION 5ML contains Heparin (25000 IU), which works on the body as follows:

• Anticoagulant action: Heparin prevents blood from clotting by interfering with the normal clotting process, helping to maintain proper blood flow through your blood vessels.

• Antithrombin III enhancement: Heparin binds to a protein in your blood called antithrombin III, making it work much more effectively at blocking several important clotting factors.

• Thrombin inhibition: By working with antithrombin III, heparin helps inactivate thrombin (a key enzyme in clot formation), preventing the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin which is necessary for clot development.

• Factor Xa inactivation: Heparin accelerates the neutralisation of factor Xa, an essential component in the blood clotting cascade that leads to clot formation.

• Store HEPARITZ 25000 INJECTION 5ML at room temperature (below 30°C).

• Keep away from direct light and moisture.

• Do not freeze the injection.

• Store in original packaging until ready to use.

• Always keep out of reach of children.

• Check the expiry date before use and discard if expired.

• Blood clot prevention: Regular gentle movement is important if you're receiving heparin therapy. Even small activities like wiggling your toes and ankles while seated can help improve circulation and reduce clot formation.

• Bleeding risk management: Avoid foods rich in vitamin K (like spinach and kale) as they may interfere with heparin's effectiveness. Choose softer foods to reduce gum bleeding risk.
