  • Prophylaxis and treatment of venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and arterial embolism

  • Acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) management
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prevention in at-risk or immobilized patients
  • Maintenance of catheter patency and prevention of occlusion

FAQs about Heparin Injection and Flush Syringes
  • What Is Heparin Injection Used For?

    Heparin injection is primarily used for preventing and treating blood clots in veins, arteries, or lungs. It is extensively utilized in the management of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), atrial fibrillation, and during dialysis to keep blood from clotting in medical tubing (heparin flush). Surgical and bedridden patients often receive heparin injections to reduce the risk of clot formation.

  • Can heparin cause headaches?

    While not common, mild side effects such as headache can occur. Always consult your healthcare provider for persistent symptoms.

  • Where do you inject heparin?

    Heparin injections are typically administered subcutaneously into the abdominal area. For IV use, it’s given in a clinical setting.

  • Are heparin injections high risk?

    Heparin is generally safe when administered under medical supervision. However, it is a high-risk medication due to possible complications such as bleeding or heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT).

  • How long does a heparin shot last?

    The effects of a heparin injection generally last 4 to 6 hours, depending on dosage and individual metabolism.

  • What should you avoid while on heparin?

    Avoid alcohol, NSAIDs (like ibuprofen), and activities leading to injury or bleeding. Inform your doctor about all your medications.

    Most people do not feel any different, but some may notice mild bruising, minor pain at the injection site, or occasional fatigue.

    Heparin injections are available at hospitals, infusion clinics, pharmacies, or administered at home under medical guidance.

  • What is the most serious complication of heparin?

    The most serious complication is heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), a potentially life-threatening drop in blood platelets which can increase clot risk. Other major risks include severe bleeding.
