It contains Heparin, which works by inhibiting the production of fibrin (a protein that binds platelets together and forms a clot), preventing blood clot formation. Some people may experience haemorrhage (bleeding), thrombocytopenia (low platelets), hypersensitivity reactions, and elevations of liver enzyme (aminotransferase) levels. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

About HBHep 5000/5ml Injection

HBHep 5000/5ml Injection belongs to a class of drugs called anticoagulants or blood thinners. HBHep 5000/5ml Injection is primarily used to prevent and treat deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in leg veins), pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung), stroke, Transient ischaemic attack (TIA), and heart attacks. Deep vein thrombosis is a medical condition in which blood clots form in deep veins, usually in the legs. Pulmonary embolism is a condition in which a blood clot blocks the arteries in the lungs. A stroke is a condition where a blood clot restricts the flow of blood to your brain, causing brain cells to die and possibly resulting in permanent brain damage or death. Transient ischaemic attack (TIA) is a condition also called mini-strokes. These have similar symptoms to a stroke, but the effects usually last less than 24 hours. Heart attack is a condition where a blood clot blocks a blood vessel supplying your heart, starving it of oxygen and causing chest pain and sometimes death.

Blood clots are formed to stop bleeding that occurs due to tissue injury. Though blood clots are useful to stop bleeding, they may be harmful when abnormally formed within blood vessels as they block blood vessels and inhibit blood flow to essential organs such as the brain, heart, or lungs. HBHep 5000/5ml Injection works by inhibiting the production of fibrin (a protein that binds platelets together and forms a clot), preventing blood clot formation.

HBHep 5000/5ml Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Some people may experience haemorrhage, thrombocytopenia (low platelets), hypersensitivity reactions, and elevations of liver enzyme (aminotransferase) levels.
