Manufacturer: Medline Industries Inc

Heparin 5 mL in a 10 mL syringe at a concentration of 100 units/mL is a widely used anticoagulant medication designed to prevent and treat thromboembolic disorders. Heparin acts by inhibiting thrombin and factor Xa, crucial components in the coagulation cascade, thereby reducing the formation of blood clots. Commonly utilized in various clinical settings, including hospitals and outpatient facilities, for procedures such as intravenous therapy, hemodialysis, and during surgeries where anticoagulation is necessary. The 10 mL syringe provides ample volume for easy handling and administration, allowing healthcare providers to draw and inject the medication without the risk of contamination.

Features:

-The concentration of 100 units/mL is carefully calibrated to ensure precise dosing, making it essential for maintaining therapeutic effectiveness while minimizing the risk of adverse effects, such as bleeding. Healthcare professionals often monitor patients closely when administering heparin to adjust doses based on activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) or other coagulation parameters.

-Storage conditions for this heparin formulation require it to be kept at controlled room temperature and protected from light to maintain its efficacy. As with any medication, proper handling and adherence to safety protocols are crucial to prevent medication errors and ensure patient safety.
