Dosage & Administration
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Infuse through intravenous catheter at a rate of 6 units per hour. ( 2.2 ) 2.1 Preparation for Administration Do not administer unless solution is clear, and seal is intact. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration whenever solution and container permit. Do not infuse this product under pressure . To Open: Tear overwrap down side at slit and remove solution container. Visually inspect the container. If the outlet port protector is damaged, detached, or not present, discard container as solution path sterility may be impaired. Some opacity of the plastic due to moisture absorption during the sterilization process may be observed. This is normal and does not affect the solution quality or safety. The opacity will diminish gradually. Check for minute leaks by squeezing inner bag firmly. If leaks are found discard solution as sterility may be impaired. Do not add supplementary medication. Preparation for Administration: 1. Suspend container from eyelet support. 2. Remove plastic protector from outlet port at bottom of container. 3. Attach administration set. Refer to complete direc…
Contraindications
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS The use of Heparin Sodium in Sodium Chloride Injection is contraindicated in patients with the following conditions: • Uncontrollable active bleeding state, except when this is due to disseminated intravascular coagulation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] • History of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia with thrombosis (HITT) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] • Severe thrombocytopenia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2 , 5.3) ] • Known hypersensitivity to heparin or pork products (e.g., anaphylactoid reactions) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] Heparin Sodium in Sodium Chloride Injection is contraindicated in patients with the following conditions: ( 4 ) • With an uncontrollable active bleeding state, except when this is due to disseminated intravascular coagulation ( 5.1 ) • With a history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) or heparin-induced thrombocytopenia with thrombosis (HITT) ( 5.2 ) • With severe thrombocytopenia ( 5.2 , 5.3 ) • Known hypersensitivity to heparin or pork products ( 5.5 )
Drug Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Drugs that interfere with platelet aggregation or drugs that counteract coagulation may induce bleeding ( 7.2 ) 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 or antihistamines may partially counterac…
