Benefits of Heparin Injection

In Prevention of Blood clots

Formation of blood clots blocks one or more veins, usually in your legs. Heparin Sodium 5000IU Injection is used to prevent formation of blood clots near the surface of your skin. It dissolves the clots and also relieves pain and inflammation by increasing the blood flow. This improves the overall healing process.

Heparin Sodium 5000IU Injection is given as an injection by the doctor and should not be self-administered. The condition usually improves on its own in some time. Additionally, the doctor might recommend applying heat to the painful area, elevating the affected leg, using an over-the-counter painkiller and possibly wearing compression stockings.

Side effects of Heparin Injection

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
