Dr. Yang Ziqi
Heparin is an anticoagulant medication used to prevent and treat venous thrombosis (venous thromboembolism) and pulmonary embolism. In certain cases, such as after vascular surgery or placement of a vascular stent, doctors may also consider using heparin to prevent blood clot formation. Heparin is a prescription drug and must be used correctly under the guidance of a physician.
