Dr. Li Man
Heparin sodium can prevent thrombus formation and improve local embolism. It can be used to treat conditions such as myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, and venous embolism, exerting an anticoagulant effect. The medication should be used under a doctor's guidance; do not self-medicate at home without supervision. Additionally, avoid consuming irritating foods during treatment.
