Heparon Injection 25000 IU/5 ml contains Heparin Sodium, a fast-acting anticoagulant used to prevent and treat blood clots. It works by enhancing the activity of antithrombin III, which inhibits clotting factors and helps maintain smooth blood flow. This injectable formulation is widely used in hospital settings for thromboembolic disorders and during surgical procedures requiring anticoagulation.

Composition
Each vial contains:
-
Heparin Sodium 25000 IU in 5 ml solution
Mechanism of Action
Heparin Sodium acts by potentiating antithrombin III, which inactivates clotting factors such as thrombin (Factor IIa) and Factor Xa. This prevents the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, thereby inhibiting clot formation. Its rapid onset of action makes it suitable for acute anticoagulation therapy.

Heparon Injection is indicated for:
-
Prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

Prevention of clot formation during surgery or catheterization procedures
