Heparin Sodium Injection (10,000 units/mL) is a potent anticoagulant, often called a blood thinner, used for the prevention and treatment of blood clots. This medication is administered under close supervision by healthcare professionals in hospital or clinical environments, with dosages carefully tailored to each individual.

Heparin Sodium Injection is essential for blood clot prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Heparin Sodium Injection offers rapid anticoagulant action for hospital care. Choose Heparin Sodium Injection for reliable results and safe patient outcomes. Heparin Sodium Injection is trusted for cardiovascular health. 

Heparin Sodium Injection by Meitheal Pharmaceuticals is a sterile, preservative-free anticoagulant solution designed for intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous administration. Each 10 mL vial contains 10,000 USP units of Heparin Sodium, supplied in multi-dose packaging of 25 vials per box, making it ideal for hospital and clinical settings requiring reliable anticoagulation therapy.

What It Is Used For

Heparin Sodium Injection is utilized for:

  • Prevention and treatment of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism
  • Prevention of clotting in arterial and cardiac surgery
  • Prevention of coagulation in extracorporeal circulation and dialysis procedures
  • Maintenance of catheter patency (low-dose flushes)

Heparin is essential in hospital protocols for managing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), atrial fibrillation, unstable angina, and during medical or surgical procedures where clot prevention is critical.

Dosage & CDC Guidelines

Dosage

  • Therapeutic Anticoagulation:
    • Initial bolus (IV): 5,000 units, followed by continuous infusion (1,000–2,000 units/hour) or intermittent IV/SC injections as per protocol.
    • Maintenance dose: Adjust based on activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) or anti-Xa levels.
  • Prophylaxis:
    • 5,000 units subcutaneously every 8–12 hours.

Important: Dosage is patient specific and must be determined and monitored by a healthcare practitioner.

CDC Guidelines

The CDC recommends the use of heparin in line with infection control protocols—

  • Use only in facilities following strict aseptic technique.
  • Monitor for complications such as heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT).
  • Regular lab monitoring is required to prevent bleeding complications.

Details & Features

  • Concentration: 10,000 USP units per 10 mL vial
  • Pack Size: 25 vials per pack
  • Sterile, preservative-free solution
  • Clear, colorless liquid for IV or subcutaneous injection
  • Latex-free packaging
  • Manufactured by Meitheal Pharmaceuticals, known for consistent quality and safety
  • Tamper-evident cap and labeling for patient safety

Mechanism of Action

Heparin is a fast-acting anticoagulant that potentiates the action of antithrombin III, which inactivates thrombin and Factor Xa, thereby preventing the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin. This disrupts the blood clotting cascade and prevents the formation and propagation of clots.

Directions for Use

  1. To be used under the direction and supervision of qualified healthcare professionals only.
  2. Inspect vial solution for clarity and absence of particulates before use.
  3. Administer via IV infusion, IV bolus, or subcutaneously (never intramuscularly).
  4. Dosage and frequency per physician’s orders and lab results.
  5. Monitor for bleeding, platelet counts, and coagulation parameters regularly.
  6. Single patient use; adhere to hospital infection control and medication safety protocols.

Warnings

  • High Alert Medication: May cause fatal hemorrhage; use with extreme caution.
  • Contraindicated in patients with active bleeding, severe thrombocytopenia, or a history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT).
  • Adjust doses in patients with significant renal or hepatic impairment.
  • Use with caution in elderly patients or those with increased risk of bleeding.
  • Not for IM injection due to risk of hematoma.

Drug Interactions

  • Increased risk of bleeding with concurrent use of other anticoagulants, antiplatelets, and some herbal supplements.

Pregnancy and Lactation

Use with caution, and only if clearly needed, under medical supervision.

Side Effects

Common side effects:

  • Mild bruising or bleeding at injection site
  • Temporary decrease in platelet count

Serious side effects:

  • Major bleeding (gastrointestinal, cerebral, or retroperitoneal)
  • Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT)
  • Hypersensitivity reactions (rash, urticaria, anaphylaxis)
  • Osteoporosis (with long-term use)
  • Elevated liver enzymes

Seek immediate medical attention if signs of severe bleeding, allergic reaction, or unusual symptoms occur.

Heparin Sodium Injection 10,000 Units – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
  • What is Heparin Sodium Injection 10,000 Units used for?

    Heparin Sodium Injection is an anticoagulant (“blood thinner”) used to prevent and treat blood clots in veins, arteries, or the lungs. It is often used in conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), atrial fibrillation, and during surgeries to prevent clotting.

  • How is Heparin Sodium Injection administered?

    It is usually given by intravenous (IV) infusion or subcutaneous (under the skin) injection by a healthcare professional in a hospital or clinic.

  • How does Heparin work?

    Heparin activates antithrombin III, which in turn inhibits thrombin and factor Xa, thereby preventing the formation and extension of blood clots.

  • How often is Heparin 10,000 Units injected?

    The dosage and frequency vary depending on the indication and the patient’s condition. Dosing may be every 8–12 hours for subcutaneous administration, or as a continuous infusion with frequent monitoring.

  • What are the common side effects of Heparin?

    Common side effects include mild pain or bruising at the injection site and bleeding or easy bruising. Rare but serious side effects include heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), severe bleeding, and allergic reactions.

  • How is the effect of Heparin monitored?

    The anticoagulation effect of heparin is commonly monitored using the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) blood test, and sometimes anti-Xa levels.

  • Can Heparin Sodium Injection be self-administered at home?

    In some cases, patients may be taught to administer subcutaneous Heparin at home, but this should only be done under medical supervision with thorough instruction.

  • Who should not receive Heparin Sodium Injection?

    Those with active or uncontrolled bleeding, a history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), severe low platelet counts, or certain types of strokes should not take heparin. Always inform your provider of your medical history.

  • Does Heparin interact with other medications?

    Yes. Heparin can increase the risk of bleeding when combined with other anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents (like aspirin or clopidogrel), NSAIDs, and some herbal supplements. Tell your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you take.

  • What should I do if I miss a dose?

    Contact your healthcare provider for instructions if you miss a dose; do not double up or change your dosing schedule without professional guidance.

  • What are the signs of serious bleeding to watch for?

    Seek immediate medical help for symptoms like unusual bruising, prolonged bleeding, blood in urine or stool, severe headache, dizziness, or difficulty breathing.

  • How is Heparin overdose or bleeding managed?

    Severe bleeding may be treated with the antidote protamine sulfate, which reverses the effect of heparin. Hospital monitoring and support may be needed.

  • Can pregnant or breastfeeding women use Heparin?

    Heparin is often the anticoagulant of choice during pregnancy because it does not cross the placenta. Safety in breastfeeding should be discussed with your healthcare provider.

  • How should Heparin Sodium Injection be stored?

    Store at room temperature and keep away from direct light and heat. Follow pharmacy or manufacturer instructions.

  • Is Heparin the same as Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH)?

    No. Heparin Sodium (unfractionated heparin) and LMWH (like enoxaparin/Lovenox) have different dosing, monitoring, and risk profiles. Always use the medication your provider prescribes.
