About Cathflush Injection 2 ml

Cathflush Injection 2 ml belongs to a class of drugs called anticoagulants or blood thinners. Cathflush Injection 2 ml is primarily used to prevent and treat deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in leg veins), pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung), stroke, Transient ischaemic attack (TIA), and heart attacks. Deep vein thrombosis is a medical condition in which blood clots form in deep veins usually in the legs. Pulmonary embolism is a condition in which a blood clot blocks the arteries in the lungs. A stroke is a condition where a blood clot restricts the flow of blood to your brain, causing brain cells to die and possibly resulting in permanent brain damage or death. Transient ischaemic attack (TIA) is a condition also called 'mini-strokes', these have similar symptoms to a stroke, but the effects usually last less than 24 hours. Heart attack is a condition where a blood clot blocks a blood vessel supplying your heart, starving it of oxygen and causing chest pain and sometimes death.

Blood clots are formed to stop bleeding that occurs due to tissue injury. Though blood clots are useful to stop bleeding, they may be harmful when abnormally formed within blood vessels as they block blood vessels and inhibit blood flow to essential organs such as the brain, heart, or lungs. Cathflush Injection 2 ml works by inhibiting the production of fibrin (a protein that binds platelets together and forms a clot) preventing blood clot formation.

Cathflush Injection 2 ml will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Some people may experience hemorrhage, thrombocytopenia (low platelets), hypersensitivity reactions, and elevations of liver enzyme (aminotransferase) levels. Most of these side effects of Cathflush Injection 2 ml do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Cathflush Injection 2 ml or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. It is not known whether Cathflush Injection 2 ml harms the baby or passes into breast milk in pregnancy and breastfeeding state.

Side effects of Cathflush Injection 2 ml

Low Platelet Count

Managing a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) caused by medication usage requires a multi-step approach. Here are some steps to help manage the condition:
Inform your doctor about your low platelet count and medication usage. They will assess the situation and guide the best course of action.
Your doctor may recommend adjusting or stopping the medication that is causing a low platelet count. This could involve switching to alternative medication or reducing the dosage.
Monitor your platelet count regularly through blood tests to track any changes. This will help the doctor determine the effectiveness of the treatment plan.
If an underlying condition, such as infection or inflammation, contributes to the low platelet count, your doctor will treat it.
In some cases, alternative treatments like platelet transfusions or medications that stimulate platelet production may be necessary.
Avoid risky activities and certain medications; eat a balanced diet with plenty of water to reduce bleeding risk and boost overall health.
If you experience severe bleeding or bruising, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
