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
Yes it dose have multi media Yes it dose have multi media
The test is done before the first dose of heparin or whenever the dosage level is changed; and again when the heparin has reached a constant level in the blood. The PTT test is repeated at scheduled intervals.
The patient is asked what medications they are on, to see if they may influence test results. If the patient is on heparin therapy, the blood sample is drawn one hour before the next dose of heparin.
The flu vaccines approved for use in the US for the 2010-2011 flu season may contain thimerosal (used as a preservative), however, some do not and the amount in the ones that do is reduced to a very scant amount through a secondary purification process. The amount that is in a dose from the multi-dose vials is less mercury than you would get in a single meal of fish. The nasal mist forms of the vaccines contain no preservatives. In the 2009 flu season when the H1N1 flu vaccine was available in single dose vials and syringes, the thimerosal dose was insignificant or eliminated totally, leaving at most, ≤ 1 mcg mercury per 0.5-mL dose. Each 0.5-mL dose from the multidose vials contains 25 mcg mercury, which is as mentioned above, less than a single meal of fish contains. Nasal spray forms of the vaccine contain no preservatives, therefore no mercury or thimerosal. In the UK and other countries outside the US, this may be different since the vaccines there typically do contain thimerosal as a preservative. But again, the amount is not considered significant in the general population.
Until it expires.
It normally depends on the concentration of Heparin p/ volume but the general rule is : 100 units = 1mL Therefore, 5000 / 100 = 50 mL's That sounds like a lot of Heparin to give someone, double check the volume of Heparin p/ mL before you administer a dose to yourself or anyone else!
