- Heparin inhibits the blood clot formation.
- Heparin used as an anticoagulant in several medical procedures
like dialysis, major surgeries where the chance of blood clotting
is more.
Since, Heparin is an anticoagulant if a person with high
level of heparin on blood was in risk for excessive
bleeding even for small injuries.
Because normally the blood clots when bleeding occur within a
time it clots. But here the presence of high level of heparin in
blood prevent the blood clotting.
Heparin act on the action of other drugs also.
It influence on the clearing rate of the other drugs.
