What is Heparin?
Heparin is a blood-thinning medication used to prevent and treat blood clots. It is commonly administered in hospitals for conditions such as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism and during surgeries. Because of its effects on blood clotting, emergency responders need to be aware if you are taking Heparin to avoid bleeding complications. Carrying an ICE card helps ensure your medication status is recognised immediately.
