https://www.medindia.net/docto....rs/drug_information/

Heparin is an anticoagulant drug or blood thinner which is used to treat or prevent the formation of blood clots in conditions like deep vein thrombosis, arterial thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism, ecmo circuit, and disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Additionally, heparin is also used to prevent clotting during dialysis and surgical procedures, maintain patency in injection devices, prevent coagulation during blood transfusions, and treat superficial thrombophlebitis.

Heparin should not be given intramuscularly (into the muscle) because of the risk of forming hematomas.

Topical applications can be applied externally twice or thrice a day or as exactly advised.The dentist should be informed about heparin therapy before dental surgery. Get emergency help in case of an allergic reaction to heparin.

Heparin overdosage can be treated by focusing on neutralization of heparin effect. Protamine sulfate is the antidote for heparin overdosage.
