Heparin(Cat No.:I005392)is an anticoagulant widely used to prevent and treat blood clots, particularly in conditions such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and during surgeries or dialysis. It works by enhancing the activity of antithrombin III, a natural inhibitor of thrombin and factor Xa, preventing the formation of clots. Heparin comes in two forms: unfractionated heparin (UFH) and low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), each with different pharmacokinetics and clinical applications. Its rapid action and effectiveness make it a cornerstone in anticoagulation therapy, ensuring blood flow and preventing clot-related complications.
