Ingredients & How They Work

Heparin:
Caprin contains heparin, an anticoagulant that prevents blood clot formation by inhibiting specific clotting factors. This action helps reduce the risk of thromboembolic events in patients at high risk or undergoing certain medical procedures.

Key Benefits

Caprin prevents blood clots in hospitalized or immobilized patients, treats deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), and is used in disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). It supports cardiovascular procedures, including open-heart surgery and dialysis, and helps maintain catheter patency by preventing clot formation.

How to Use

Caprin is administered via injection as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Dosing and frequency depend on the condition being treated or prevented. Regular monitoring of blood clotting parameters, such as activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), is essential. Do not alter or stop the medication without consulting your doctor.

Side Effects & Precautions

Common Side Effects

Common side effects include bruising or irritation at the injection site and mild bleeding, such as from gums or minor cuts.

Serious Side Effects

Serious side effects may include excessive or uncontrollable bleeding, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), osteoporosis with long-term use, and allergic reactions such as rash, hives, or breathing difficulties.

Precautions

Inform your doctor if you have bleeding disorders, severe hypertension, liver or kidney disease, or recent surgeries or trauma. Regular blood tests are essential to ensure proper dosing and prevent over-anticoagulation. Avoid combining Caprin with other anticoagulants unless specifically advised. Discuss use during pregnancy and breastfeeding with your doctor. Avoid activities that increase the risk of injury or bleeding, such as contact sports.

Who Should Use

Caprin is intended for adults at risk of blood clots, including hospitalized patients, those undergoing surgery or prolonged bed rest, individuals with DVT, PE, or DIC, and patients requiring anticoagulation during cardiovascular procedures or catheter maintenance.

Storage Instructions
