What is half life of heparin?
the half life of heparin is 2 hours and that of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is 4 hours
How do you cure blood clot in leg with hht?
heparin/low molecular weight heparin
Is heparin 5000 a Low molecular weight heparin?
Heparin is not a low molecular weight heparin I'm thinking that the 5000 you are referring to is 5000 units because 5000 units administered subcutaneously two or three times daily as a pretty standard dose for preventing blood clots with heparin Pharmacy student
Does low molecular weight heparin cross the placenta?
Standard heparin, an effective treatment for antepartum thromboembolic disease, is thought to be safe for the fetus since it does not cross the placenta. Recently, a number of low molecular weight heparins have been prepared which have been shown to produce less bleeding than standard heparin for an equivalent antithrombotic effect in experimental animals. These observations suggest that the low molecular weight heparins may also provide superior antithrombotic therapy in antepartum thromboembolic disease. However, it is not known whether the low molecular weight heparins cross the placenta. To determine this, we examined the pharmacokinetics of 125I-labelled standard heparin and a low molecular weight heparin, and their anticoagulant effects in mother and fetus, using a pregnant sheep model. Catheters were inserted into maternal and fetal femoral arteries at 108-119 d gestation (term: 147 d). 1-3 days later the mothers were given a bolus i.v. injection of 5000 anti-Xa units of 125I-labelled standard heparin or low molecular weight heparin, CY 222. Nine serial blood samples were collected over 4 h from both mother and fetus for measurements of radioactivity, anti-Xa activity (chromogenic) and activated partial thromboplastin times. When therapeutic levels of standard and CY 222 heparins were achieved in the mother, there was no detectable radioactivity or anticoagulant effect in the fetus. We conclude that standard heparin and the low molecular weight CY 222 do not cross the placenta in the pregnant sheep.

What is the antidote for thrombolytics?
There isn't one. Once the platelets have been affected by Plavix, the anti clotting abilty of those platelets is permanently altered. However, new platelets are replaced every 7-10 days, so generally, clotting returns in about 5 days. It is important NEVER to stop taking Plavix suddenly. The dose should be gradually discontinued under a physician's supervision.
What is the molecular formula of sweet and low?
the molecular form is E+061-0h2= the molecular form of sweet the molecular form for low is LL-082+ 56E-541= form for low
Anticoagulant used in hematocrit?
heparin. you're welcome guys :)
20000unit of heparin equal how many milligram?
20000 unit of heparin = 200mg heparin 1mg heparin = 100 unit heparin
Why is fragmin used with warfarin?
Fragmin/Heparin a low-molecular-weight heparin is a new DVT treatment. It's effective within hours, reducing complications and hospitalizations. You can do the injections at home, once or twice daily, on an outpatient basis. And because it is more consistent and predictable, it doesn't require regular blood tests. Also the duration of action of a single dose of warfarin is 2 to 5 days.
Can blood transfusion and heparin drip be given at the same time?
Yes. In fact, patients with low levels of anti-thrombin the additional antithrombin in FFP will augment the efficacy of heparin.
Do simple molecular substances have high or low melting and boiling points?
Yes, molecular solids have relatively low melting points.
