Decreased anticoagulant effect with gyceryl trinitrate infusion. Increased risk of hyperkalaemia with ACE inhibitors or angiotensin II antagonists.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use

Pregnancy Category C. Either studies in animals have revealed adverse effects on the foetus (teratogenic or embryocidal or other) and there are no controlled studies in women or studies in women and animals are not available. Drugs should be given only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the foetus.Nursing Mothers: Due to its large molecular weight, heparin is not likely to be excreted in human milk, and any heparin in milk would not be orally absorbed by a nursing infant. Benzyl alcohol present in maternal serum is likely to cross into human milk and may be orally absorbed by a nursing infant. Exercise caution when administering Heparin Panpharma Injection 25000 IU/5 ml Injection to a nursing mother.

Contraindication

Current or history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia; generalised or local haemorrhagic tendency, including uncontrolled severe HTN, severe liver insufficiency, active peptic ulcer, acute or subacute septic endocarditis, intracranial haemorrhage or injuries and operations on the CNS, eyes and ears, and in women with abortus imminens; epidural anaesth during birth; locoregional anaesth in elective surgical procedures (in patients receiving heparin for treatment rather than prophylaxis).

Special Warning

Pediatric Use: There are no adequate and well controlled studies on heparin use in pediatric patients. Pediatric dosing recommendations are based on clinical experience. Carefully examine all Heparin Panpharma Injection 25000 IU/5 ml Injection vials to confirm choice of the correct strength prior to administration of the drug. Pediatric patients, including neonates, have died as a result of medication errors in which vials have been confused with “catheter lock flush” vials

Acute Overdose

Symptoms: Bleeding (nose bleeds, blood in urine or tarry stools may be noted as the 1st sign of bleeding). Management: May give protamine sulfate by slow IV infusion over 10 min to treat severe bleeding (1 mg of protamine sulfate neutralises approx 100 U of heparin). Max: 50 mg as a single dose.
