pharmachologic effect

Pharmacological group: anticoagulants .

Group of the drug Heparin, produced in the form of a gel: drugs for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Group of the drug Heparin, produced in injection form: agents affecting blood and hematopoiesis.

Heparin sodium contained in the drug has an antithrombotic effect , slows down the aggregation and adhesion of leukocytes , platelets and erythrocytes ; reduces wall spasm and the degree of vascular permeability; helps improve collateral circulation.

What can be replaced

An analogue of Heparin is also a solution of a drug, but from a different production.

The following solution analogues exist:

  • Sodium Brown.
  • Richter.
  • Frayn.

The use of these funds should be carried out after consultation with a specialist.

Thus, Heparin is a good drug for thinning the blood and preventing the development of blood clots inside blood vessels. However, during its use it is necessary to carefully monitor blood clotting parameters and follow the chosen therapeutic course.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

What is Heparin?

Heparin (INN: Heparin) is an acidic mucopolysaccharide with Mr about 16 kDa. A direct anticoagulant that helps slow down the formation of fibrin .

The gross formula of heparin is C12H19NO20S3.

Pharmacodynamics

The mechanism of action of heparin is based primarily on its binding to AT III (its plasma cofactor). Being a physiological anticoagulant , it potentiates the ability of AT III to suppress activated coagulation factors (in particular, IXa, Xa, XIa, XIIa).

When used in high concentrations, heparin also inhibits thrombin activity .

Suppresses activated factor X, which is involved in the internal and external blood coagulation system.

The effect occurs when significantly lower doses of heparin are used than are required to inhibit the activity of coagulation factor II ( thrombin ), which promotes the formation of fibrin from the plasma protein fibrinogen .

This justifies the possibility of using small doses of heparin (subcutaneously) for prophylactic purposes, and large doses for treatment.

Heparin is not a fibrinolytic (i.e., it is capable of dissolving blood clots), but it can reduce the size of the blood clot and stop its expansion. Thus, the blood clot is partially dissolved under the action of fibrinolytic enzymes of natural origin.

Suppresses the activity of the enzyme hyaluronidase, helps reduce the activity of surfactant in the lungs.

Reduces the risk of developing MI, acute thrombosis of myocardial arteries and sudden death. In small doses it is effective for the prevention of VTE, in high doses it is effective against venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism .

Deficiency of AT III at the site of thrombosis or plasma may reduce the antithrombotic effect of the drug

When applied externally, the product has a local antiexudative , antithrombotic and moderate anti-inflammatory effect .

Promotes the activation of fibrinolytic properties of blood, inhibits the activity of hyaluronidase, and blocks the formation of thrombin. Gradually released from the gel and passing through the skin, heparin helps reduce inflammation and has an antithrombotic effect .

At the same time, the patient’s microcirculation improves and tissue metabolism is activated and, as a result, the processes of resorption of blood clots and hematomas are accelerated, and tissue swelling is reduced.

Pharmacokinetics

When used externally, absorption is negligible.

After injection under the skin, TCmax is 4-5 hours. Up to 95% of the substance is in a state bound to plasma proteins, Vp - 0.06 l/kg (the substance does not leave the vascular bed due to strong binding to plasma proteins).

It does not penetrate the placental barrier or into breast milk.

Metabolized in the liver. The substance is characterized by rapid biological inactivation and short duration of action, which is explained by the participation of the antiheparin factor in its biotransformation and the binding of heparin to the macrophage system.

T1/2 - 30-60 minutes. Excreted by the kidneys. Up to 50% of the substance can be excreted unchanged only if high doses are used. It is not excreted by hemodialysis.

pharmachologic effect

Direct anticoagulant, belongs to the group of medium molecular heparins. In blood plasma, it activates antithrombin III, accelerating its anticoagulant effect. It disrupts the transition of prothrombin to thrombin, inhibits the activity of thrombin and activated factor X, and to some extent reduces platelet aggregation.

For unfractionated standard heparin, the ratio of antiplatelet activity (antifactor Xa) to anticoagulant activity (APTT) is 1:1.

Increases renal blood flow; increases cerebral vascular resistance, reduces the activity of cerebral hyaluronidase, activates lipoprotein lipase and has a hypolipidemic effect. Reduces the activity of surfactant in the lungs, suppresses excessive synthesis of aldosterone in the adrenal cortex, binds adrenaline, modulates the ovarian response to hormonal stimuli, and increases the activity of parathyroid hormone. As a result of interaction with enzymes, it can increase the activity of brain tyrosine hydroxylase, pepsinogen, DNA polymerase and reduce the activity of myosin ATPase, pyruvate kinase, RNA polymerase, pepsin.

There is evidence that heparin has immunosuppressive activity.

In patients with coronary artery disease (in combination with ASA), it reduces the risk of acute coronary artery thrombosis, myocardial infarction and sudden death. Reduces the frequency of recurrent infarctions and mortality in patients who have had myocardial infarction. In high doses it is effective for pulmonary embolism and venous thrombosis, in small doses it is effective for the prevention of venous thromboembolism, incl. after surgical operations.

With intravenous administration, blood coagulation slows down almost immediately, with intramuscular injection - after 15-30 minutes, with subcutaneous administration - after 20-60 minutes, after inhalation the maximum effect is within 24 hours; the duration of the anticoagulant effect is respectively 4-5, 6, 8 hours and 1-2 weeks, the therapeutic effect - prevention of thrombus formation - lasts much longer. Deficiency of antithrombin III in plasma or at the site of thrombosis may reduce the antithrombotic effect of heparin.

When applied externally, it has a local antithrombotic, antiexudative, and moderate anti-inflammatory effect. Blocks the formation of thrombin, inhibits the activity of hyaluronidase, and activates the fibrinolytic properties of the blood. Heparin penetrating through the skin reduces the inflammatory process and has an antithrombotic effect, improves microcirculation and activates tissue metabolism, thereby accelerating the processes of resorption of hematomas and blood clots and reducing tissue swelling.

Pharmacokinetics

After subcutaneous administration, the Cmax of the active substance in plasma is observed after 3-4 hours. Heparin penetrates poorly through the placenta due to its high molecular weight. Not excreted in breast milk.

T1/2 from plasma is 30-60 minutes.

Dosage

Individual, depending on the dosage form used, indications, clinical situation and age of the patient.

Drug interactions

The anticoagulant effect of heparin is enhanced by the simultaneous use of anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents and NSAIDs.

Ergot alkaloids, thyroxine, tetracycline, antihistamines, and nicotine reduce the effect of heparin.

Use during pregnancy and lactation

Use during pregnancy is possible only according to strict indications, under close medical supervision.

Possible use during lactation (breastfeeding) according to indications.

Indications for use

Indications for use of the gel

Heparin gel is used for the treatment and prevention of thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins , phlebitis (post-injection and post-infusion), lymphangitis, superficial periphlebitis, elephantiasis, localized infiltrates, bruises, swelling and injuries (including muscles, joints, tendons), superficial mastitis , subcutaneous hematomas .

Indications for use of the solution

Heparin injections are prescribed for thrombosis of deep veins , myocardial arteries , renal veins , pulmonary embolism, thrombophlebitis , atrial fibrillation (including if cardiac arrhythmia is accompanied by embolization), unstable angina , disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome , acute myocardial infarction, mitral heart disease (prevention of blood clots ), bacterial endocarditis , hemolyticouremic syndrome , lupus nephritis , glomerulonephritis , for the prevention and treatment of microthrombosis and microcirculation disorders.

For preventive purposes, the drug is used during surgical interventions that use extracorporeal blood circulation methods, during cytapheresis, peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis, forced diuresis, hemosorption, and when washing venous catheters.

When Heparin is administered intravenously, blood clotting slows down almost immediately, when administered into a muscle - after 15-30 minutes, when administered subcutaneously - after 20-60 minutes, when administered by inhalation, the effect is most pronounced after 24 hours.

Assignment and use mode

Only a doctor can calculate the dosage, method of administration and treatment regimen. He will determine the period of blood clotting, changes in its main indicators and make an appointment.

Heparin injections can be given subcutaneously, or the drug can be injected into a vein either in a stream or intermittently (drip). To prepare the working solution, only the use of sodium chloride at a concentration of 0.9% is permissible.

The injection mixture is not suitable for intramuscular administration. Bolus or infusion administration into a vein is acceptable. Your doctor may prescribe the drug to be infused subcutaneously. In this case, the injection is performed in the abdominal area. Before the procedure begins, the nurse will explain to the patient why Heparin injections are given in the stomach, why and how such a procedure is carried out.

The most suitable area for injections under the skin is on the front side wall of the abdomen. In some cases, the injection may be performed in the shoulder or thigh area. The needle chosen is very thin and inserted deeply. Before insertion, the skin is folded between the thumb and forefinger and is not released until the end of the manipulation. The needle is inserted perpendicular to the surface of the skin. To prevent the appearance of hematomas, it is recommended to periodically change the injection site of the solution.

Subcutaneous injection

Patients over 15 years of age diagnosed with acute thrombosis are first prescribed an injection of the drug equal to 10,000-15,000 IU intravenously. At the same time, medical personnel must monitor the processes occurring in the venous vessels.

Then the medicinal dose is reduced to 5000-10000 IU and administered after 4-6 hours until blood clotting indicators reach optimal levels. For the purpose of prevention, Heparin injections are prescribed under the skin after 6-8 hours at a dosage of 5000 IU.

When symptoms of disseminated intravascular coagulation of the first degree appear, adult patients are prescribed 2500-5000 IU daily by subcutaneous administration. In parallel, control measurements of thrombin time (the rate of transformation of fibrinogen into fibrin under the influence of thrombin) are carried out. A couple of days before stopping the drug, its daily amount is gradually reduced.

The most effective method is to use the infusion method of delivering the medicinal solution. In this case, optimal hypocoagulation is achieved and bleeding is practically eliminated.

During extracorporeal circulation, 140-400 IU per kg of weight or 1500-2000 IU per 500 ml of blood is administered. When performing hemodialysis, 10,000 IU is first injected into a vein, then 30,000-50,000 IU approximately halfway through the process. These rates decrease for older patients, especially women.

For pediatric patients, Heparin prescribed in ampoules is administered through an infusion device:

  • 600 IU per 1 kg of weight per day for children 3-6 years old;
  • 500 IU per 1 kg of weight per day for children 6-15 years old.

All manipulations are carried out under the control of thromboplastin time.

Contraindications

Heparin containing ointments (Heparin, Heparin-Acrigel 1000, etc.) are contraindicated in cases of hypersensitivity to the components they contain, as well as in diseases accompanied by ulcerative-necrotic processes, and injuries that are accompanied by violations of the integrity of the skin.

Heparin gel (ointment) should be used with caution in case of thrombocytopenia and increased tendency to bleeding.

Contraindications to the use of the injection form of the drug:

  • hypersensitivity;
  • diseases accompanied by increased bleeding ( vasculitis, hemophilia , etc.);
  • bleeding;
  • aortic dissection , intracranial aneurysm;
  • antiphospholipid syndrome;
  • traumatic brain injury;
  • hemorrhagic stroke;
  • uncontrolled hypertension;
  • liver cirrhosis , accompanied by pathological changes in the veins of the esophagus;
  • threatened miscarriage;

  • pregnancy;
  • childbirth (including recent);
  • lactation period;
  • erosive and ulcerative lesions of the stomach and intestinal tract;
  • recent surgical interventions on the prostate gland, brain, eyes, bile ducts and liver, as well as the condition after lumbar puncture .

Heparin injections should be prescribed with caution to patients with polyvalent allergies (including bronchial asthma ), diabetes mellitus , arterial hypertension , active tuberculosis , endo- and pericarditis , chronic renal failure, liver failure ; patients undergoing dental procedures or radiation therapy; persons over 60 years of age (especially women); women using an IUD.

Characteristics of the drug

Heparin is a drug that interferes with the formation of the high molecular weight protein fibrin in order to prevent the formation of blood clots in the coronary arteries. In addition, the action of the medication is aimed at stopping the growth of already formed fibrin clots and reducing the activity of blood clotting factors.


The drug for injection is available in bottles with a dosage of 5 ml

The administration of the drug in small quantities can slightly increase the properties of blood aimed at dissolving formed blood clots, and in large doses heparin causes a slowdown in the process of dissolving blood clots.

To reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and restore the normal balance of the liquid part and formed elements of the blood, doctors prescribe Heparin injections. The treatment regimen and dose of the administered drug are selected individually, since the drug can accumulate on the inner surface of blood vessels, which leads to an increase in the negative charge of blood cells. Due to this, surface adhesion decreases and platelet gluing process is inhibited.

Side effects

When used externally, Heparin sodium can cause skin hyperemia and hypersensitivity reactions.

When administering the solution, the following are possible:

  • Hypersensitivity reactions ( drug fever , skin hyperemia, rhinitis , feeling of heat in the soles, urticaria , skin itching, collapse, bronchospasm , anaphylactic shock ).
  • Headaches, dizziness, diarrhea, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting;
  • Thrombocytopenia (in approximately 6% of patients), sometimes (rarely) with death. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is accompanied by: arterial thrombosis , skin necrosis and gangrene , stroke , myocardial infarction . In case of severe HIT (when the platelet is reduced to half the original number or below 100 thousand/μl), heparin should be stopped immediately.
  • Local reactions ( hematoma , hyperemia , pain, ulceration, irritation at the injection site, bleeding).
  • Bleeding. Typical ones are considered to be from the urinary tract and gastrointestinal tract, in areas that are subject to pressure, at the site of drug administration, from surgical wounds. Hemorrhages are also possible in various internal organs: in the retroperitoneal space, corpus luteum, adrenal glands, etc.

With long-term use of Heparin, intermittent alopecia , osteoporosis , hypoaldosteronism , soft tissues become calcified, spontaneous bone fractures occur, and the activity of liver transaminases increases.

Side effects

The most common adverse reactions include: hemorrhage, elevated levels of liver enzymes, reverse thrombocytopenia and various dermatological disorders. Occasional episodes of generalized allergic reactions, skin necrosis and priapism were also reported.

On the side of the blood system:

thrombocytopenia type I; Type II; Epidural and spinal hematomas, hemorrhages, hematuria, clear bleeding, nosebleeds, hemorrhages in the cervix, supraneural ulcers, hemoptysis.

Reactions at the injection site:

at the site of injection, especially if the injection technique is broken, possible hemorrhages (subcutaneous in the mucous membrane, internal), irritation, bruises, pain, hemorrhage, hematomas and atrophy in in places injections.

Inshi:

undead, fever, illness.

Thrombocytopenia as a result of heparin therapy occurs in 6% of patients. It may arise as a direct result of platelet aggregation under heparin treatment or as a result of an immune reaction when the antibody attacks platelets and endothelium. Reactions of the first type, as a rule, manifest themselves in a mild form and resolve after administration of therapy, while reactions of the other type can be severe. Thrombocytopenia may result in skin necrosis and thrombosis in the arteries (“white thrombus”), which is accompanied by relapse of venous thromboembolism, development of gangrene, myocardial infarction, and stroke. If severe thrombocytopenia occurs (decrease in platelet count by 2 times the rate of platelets), it is necessary to take heparin.

Increased activity of transaminases (ALT and AST), similar to free fatty acids and thyroxine may be prevented; reversible addition of potassium.

Instructions for use of Heparin (Method and dosage)

Heparin injections, instructions for use, administration features

Heparin in ampoules is prescribed in the form of:

  • regular injections into a vein;
  • continuous infusion;
  • subcutaneously (injections in the stomach).

For preventive purposes, sodium heparin is administered subcutaneously at a dose of 5 thousand IU/day, leaving 8-12 hours between injections (to prevent thrombosis, the patient is injected with 1 ml of solution under the skin of the abdomen 2 times/day).

For medicinal purposes, the solution is infused intravenously (the method of administration is drip infusion). Dose - 15 IU/kg/h (that is, an adult with average body weight is prescribed 1 thousand IU/h).

To achieve a rapid anticoagulant effect, 1 ml of solution is injected intravenously into the patient immediately before infusion. If administration into a vein is impossible for some reason, then the medicine is injected under the skin 4 times a day. 2 ml.

The highest daily dose is 60-80 thousand IU. The use of Heparin at the indicated dose for more than 10 days is permitted only in exceptional cases.

For children, the solution is injected into a vein by drip. The dose is selected depending on age: at the age of 1 to 3 months the daily dose is 800 IU/kg, from 4 months to a year - 700 IU/kg, children over 6 years of age are prescribed (under APTT monitoring) 500 IU/kg/ days

Technique for administering Heparin, preparation for manipulation and administration of solution

Subcutaneous injections are usually given into the anterolateral wall of the abdomen (if this is not possible, the medicine can be injected into the upper thigh/shoulder area).

A thin needle is used for injection.

The first injection is given 1-2 hours before the start of the operation; in the postoperative period, the drug continues to be administered for 7-10 days (if necessary, longer).

Treatment begins with a jet injection of 5 thousand IU of heparin into a vein, after which the solution is continued to be administered using an intravenous infusion (a 0.9% NaCl solution is used to dilute the drug).

Maintenance doses are calculated depending on the route of administration.

The algorithm for administering Heparin is as follows:

  • 15-20 minutes before administering the drug, apply cold to the injection site in the abdominal area (this will reduce the likelihood of bruising).
  • The procedure is performed in compliance with the rules of asepsis.
  • The needle is inserted into the base of the fold (the fold is held between the thumb and forefinger until the end of drug administration) at an angle of 90°.
  • Do not move the tip of the needle after insertion or retract the piston. Otherwise, tissue damage and hematoma formation may occur.
  • The solution should be injected slowly (to reduce pain and avoid tissue damage).
  • The needle is removed easily, at the same angle at which it was inserted.
  • There is no need to wipe the skin; the injection site is lightly pressed with a sterile dry swab (the swab is held for 30-60 seconds).
  • It is recommended to alternate anatomical sites for injection. The areas in which injections are given during the week should be 2.5 cm apart from each other.

Heparin ointment, instructions for use

The gel is used as an external agent. It should be applied to the affected area from 1 to 3 times a day. A single dose is a column 3 to 10 cm long.

For thrombosis of hemorrhoidal veins, the drug is used rectally.

Gel-impregnated cotton pads are applied to the inflamed nodes and secured with a bandage. Gel-soaked tampons are inserted into the anus. Treatment usually lasts 3-4 days.

For leg ulcers, the ointment is carefully applied to the inflamed skin around the ulcer.

Frequency of applications - 2-3 rubles/day. Treatment is continued until the inflammation disappears. Usually the course lasts from 3 to 7 days. The doctor decides whether a longer course is necessary.

Other heparin-containing ointments are used in a similar way (for example, the instructions for Heparin-Acrigel 1000 are practically no different from the instructions for Heparin gel or Lyoton 1000 ).

For the treatment of hemorrhoids (external and internal), anal fissures , thrombophlebitis of the anal veins , as well as to relieve itching and eliminate eczema suppositories for hemorrhoids (for example, Hepatrombin G can be used as an alternative to Heparin ointment .

Heparin is available only in the form of a solution, ointment or gel (gel, unlike ointment, contains a larger amount of the active substance and is better absorbed into the skin).

Heparin tablets are not available because heparin is practically not absorbed from the digestive tract.

conclusions

Heparin is a strong anticoagulant drug that is most often used in hospital settings due to its wide range of effects and high risk of overdose. The correct concentration of the drug is used for increased formation of blood clots, myocardial infarction, stroke and other thromboembolic pathologies. The selection of the dose, method and frequency of administration is regulated by the doctor depending on the sensitivity of the patient and the presence of risk factors (old age, alcoholism, use of other drugs).

Overdose

Symptoms of overdose with parenteral use are bleeding of varying severity.

Treatment: for minor bleeding caused by an overdose of the drug, it is enough to stop using it. If bleeding is extensive, protamine sulfate (1 mg per 100 IU of heparin) is used to neutralize excess heparin.

Please note that heparin is eliminated quickly. Thus, if protamine sulfate is administered 30 minutes after the previous dose of heparin, it should be administered at half the dose; The highest dose of protamine sulfate is 50 mg.

It is not excreted by hemodialysis.

Cases of overdose with external use of the drug have not been described. Due to the low systemic absorption of the drug, an overdose is considered unlikely. With prolonged use on large surfaces, hemorrhagic complications .

Treatment: discontinuation of the drug, if necessary, use of a one percent solution of protamine sulfate (heparin antagonist).

Interactions with other medicinal drugs and other types of interactions

Oral anticoagulants (dicoumarin) and antiplatelet drugs (acetylsalicylic acid, dipyridamole) should be taken at least 5 days before any surgical procedures, as residual stink may be present There is a tendency to bleed during the operation or in the postoperative period.

Direct and indirect anticoagulants are effective against heparin. Immediate administration of ascorbic acid, antihistamine drugs and drugs digitalis, tetracyclines, nicotine, nitroglycerin, corticotropin, thyroxine may interfere with the anticoagulant effect. Karskogo for the sake of it. Methods to change platelet aggregation (acetylsalicylic acid, dextrin, phenylbutazone, ibuprofen, methindol, dipyridamole, hydroxychloroquine, fibrinolytics, ascorbic acid, alkaloids, etc. etacin, sulfinpirazone, probenecid, cephalosporin, ketorolac, epoprostenol, clopidogrel, ticlopidine, streptokinase, intravenous administration penicillins, etacrynic acid, cytostatics), with one-hour therapy with heparin can cause hemorrhage, so they must be collected very carefully. The risk of hemorrhage also increases when heparin therapy is combined with ulcerogenic, immunosuppressive and thrombolytic drugs.

Heparin may interfere with phenytoin, quinidine, propranolol, benzodiazepines and bilirubin through binding to plasma proteins. With one-hour ingestion, medications, enaprilat, tricyclic antidepressants can bind to heparin, which can lead to a mutual decrease in effectiveness.

Inhibitors of angiotensin-transforming enzyme, antagonism of angiotensin II: possible development of hyperkalemia.

Alcohol: immediate use of alcoholic drinks can significantly advance the risk of bleeding.

Unsafety also arises with one-hour infusion of heparin with ulcerogenic, immunosuppressive and thrombolytic drugs.

Plying on the results of laboratory studies: there is a significant increase in the level of thyroxine and triiodothyronine. Hibnopositive test result for diagnosing metabolic acidosis and hypocalcemia (in patients on hemodialysis). Implementation of chromogenic lysate tests for the detection of endotoxins. Heparin can be added to the prescribed aminoglycosides for additional enzyme immunoassay.

Interaction

Drugs that block tubular secretion, indirect anticoagulants that reduce the formation of vitamin K by intestinal microflora, antibiotics, NSAIDs, dipyridamole , ASA and other drugs that reduce platelet aggregation enhance the effect of heparin.

The weakening of the effect is facilitated by: cardiac glycosides , ergot alkaloids , phenothiazines , antihistamines, nicotine , ethacrynic and nicotinic acids , nitroglycerin (iv administration), ACTH, tetracyclines , alkaline amino acids and polypeptides, thyroxine , protamine .

Do not mix the solution in the same syringe with other medications.

When applied topically, the anticoagulant effect of the drug is enhanced when the gel is used in combination with antiplatelet agents, NSAIDs, and anticoagulants. Tetracycline , thyroxines , nicotine and antihistamines reduce the effect of heparin.

special instructions

Due to the risk of hematoma formation at the injection site, the solution should not be injected into the muscle.

The solution may acquire a yellowish tint, which does not affect its activity or tolerability.

When prescribing the drug for therapeutic purposes, the dosage should be selected taking into account the aPTT value.

During treatment with the drug, organ biopsies and other medications should not be administered intramuscularly.

To dilute the solution, only 0.9% NaCl solution can be used.

The gel should not be applied to mucous membranes or open wounds. In addition, it is not used in the presence of purulent processes. The use of ointment is not recommended for DVT.

Unfractionated Heparin

Heparin with an average molecular weight of 12-16 thousand daltons, which is isolated from bovine lung or the mucous membrane of the intestinal tract of pigs, is called unfractionated. It is used in the production of drugs that have local and systemic effects (heparin containing ointments and solutions for parenteral administration).

The drug, through interaction with AT III (indirectly), inhibits the main enzyme of the blood coagulation system, as well as other coagulation factors, and this in turn leads to antithrombotic and anticoagulation effects.

Endogenous heparin in the human body can be found in muscles, intestinal mucosa, and lungs. In structure, it is a mixture of glycosaminoglycan fractions, which consist of sulfatide residues of D-glucosamine and D-glucuronic acid with a molecular weight of 2 to 50 thousand daltons.

Fractionated Heparin

Fractionated (low molecular weight) heparins are obtained by enzymatic or chemical depolymerization of unfractionated heparins. This Heparin consists of polysaccharides with an average molecular weight of 4-7 thousand daltons.

LMWHs are characterized as weak anticoagulants and highly effective direct-acting antithrombotics. The action of such drugs is aimed at compensating hypercoagulation processes.

LMWH begins to act immediately after administration, while its antithrombotic effect is pronounced and prolonged (the drug is administered only 1 time per day).

Classification of low molecular weight Heparins:

  • drugs used to prevent thrombosis/thromboembolism ( Klivarin , Troparin , etc.);
  • drugs used to treat unstable angina and MI without a pathological Q wave, thrombosis and thromboembolism , acute DVT, PE ( Fragmin , Clexane , Fraxiparine );
  • drugs used to treat severe vein thrombosis ( Fraxiparine Forte );
  • drugs used to prevent thrombus formation and coagulation during hemofiltration and hemodialysis ( Fraxiparine , Fragmin , Clexane ).

Special Recommendations

We recommend reading: Instructions for Heparin ointment

Heparin therapy is carried out under strict control of hemocoagulation parameters. A coagulogram is carried out in the first week of treatment with the drug and immediately after surgery, the optimal number of studies is 1 time every 2-3 days. With fractional administration of the solution, a blood test is done immediately before the injection.

It is not recommended to abruptly interrupt the course of treatment with Heparin, as this may lead to the initiation of thrombus formation. Therefore, it is necessary to gradually reduce the dosage of the drug with the parallel use of indirect anticoagulants. The only exceptions are cases of individual intolerance to some components of the solution.

Despite the possibility of intramuscular injection of the solution, experts do not recommend it due to the fact that bruises form at the injection site.

Use during pregnancy and lactation

Heparin solution is not contraindicated for pregnant women. However, despite the fact that the active substance of the drug does not penetrate into milk, its use in nursing mothers in some cases led to the rapid (within 2-4 weeks) development of osteoporosis and spinal damage.

The feasibility of use should be decided individually, taking into account the risk to the fetus/benefit to the mother ratio.

There are no data on the use of the gel during pregnancy and lactation.
