Description
Heparin is a prescription blood thinner medication used to prevent blood clots for people at risk of developing them, either due to conditions or because of a major surgery. It is an anticoagulant that prevent platelets clumping together in the blood and forming clots that can be very dangerous if they begin to move through arteries and into the lungs, heart, or brain. The Heparin antidote is the medication in a suspension that is injected for blood clot prevent and the Heparin drip is the same solution but administer as an IV, most commonly when the patient is hospitalized immediately following a major surgery.
