Heparin is a medicine used to prevent and treat blood clots. It works by preventing blood from clotting. Heparin is usually given by injection and can be used before and after surgery, as well as to treat heart attacks, pulmonary embolisms and other blood clot-related conditions. In Hong Kong, doctors may recommend the use of heparin to prevent thrombosis, especially for some patients who need to stay in bed for a long time or who are undergoing surgery. Patients should be closely monitored for coagulation when using heparin as it may increase the risk of bleeding. At the same time, patients need to inform their doctors about any drug allergic reactions or other important medical information. While using heparin, avoid changing the dose or discontinuing use unless directed by your doctor. If any unusual bleeding or other adverse reactions occur, seek medical attention immediately.
