Contraindications
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS The use of HEPARIN SODIUM in 5% Dextrose Injection is contraindicated in patients with the following conditions: History of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (HITT) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Known hypersensitivity to heparin or pork products (e.g., anaphylactoid reactions) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] In whom suitable blood coagulation tests – e.g., the whole blood clotting time, partial thromboplastin time, etc., – cannot be performed at appropriate intervals (this contraindication refers to full-dose heparin; there is usually no need to monitor coagulation parameters in patients receiving low-dose heparin) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Uncontrollable active bleeding state except when this is due to disseminated intravascular coagulation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] History of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) or heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (HITT) ( 5.3 ) Known hypersensitivity to heparin or pork products ( 5.7 ) In whom suitable blood coagulation tests cannot be performed at appropriate intervals ( 5.5 ) Uncontroll…
Drug Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Drugs that interfere with coagulation, platelet aggregation or drugs that counteract coagulation may induce bleeding. ( 7 ) 7.1 Oral Anticoagulants Heparin sodium may prolong the one-stage prothrombin time. Therefore, when heparin sodium is given with dicumarol or warfarin sodium, a period of at least 5 hours after the last intravenous dose or 24 hours after the last subcutaneous dose should elapse before blood is drawn if a valid prothrombin time is to be obtained. 7.2 Platelet Inhibitors Drugs such as NSAIDS (including acetylsalicylic acid, ibuprofen, indomethacin, and celecoxib), dextran, phenylbutazone, thienopyridines, dipyridamole, hydroxychloroquine, glycoprotein IIv/IIa antagonists (including abciximab, eptifibatide, and tirofiban), and others that interfere with platelet-aggregation reactions (the main hemostatic defense of heparinized patients) may induce bleeding and should be used with caution in patients receiving heparin sodium. To reduce the risk of bleeding, a reduction in the dose of antiplatelet agent or heparin is recommended. 7.3 Other Medications that May Interfere with Heparin Digitalis, tetracyclines, nicotine, antihistamines, or intraveno…
