Hibor 3500 I.U/0.2Ml Inj

Hibor 3500 I.U/0.2Ml Inj belongs to a class of drugs called anticoagulants (blood thinners). Hibor 3500 I.U/0.2Ml Inj is used to prevent and treat deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in leg veins), pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs), and dangerous blood clots which can occur while undergoing orthopaedic surgery (hip, knee or other bone surgery). Additionally, it is used to prevent blood clots from forming in the tubing of the dialysis machine. 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 required blood flow to organs such as the brain, heart, or lungs.

Hibor 3500 I.U/0.2Ml Inj contains Bemiparin, which helps to prevent blood clotting in the blood vessels.

• Do regular exercise as it helps to dissolve blood clots, especially in obese people.
• Avoid the consumption of alcohol as it may increase the risk of bleeding.

• Your doctor may monitor potassium levels in the blood, especially if you suffer from diabetes, kidney disease or if you are taking medicines to prevent the loss of potassium.
• Some patients may require blood tests to check the level of blood clotting cells in their blood. Your doctor will decide whether this is necessary and when (e.g. before treatment, on the first day of treatment, then every 3-4 days and at the end of treatment with Hibor 3500 I.U/0.2Ml Inj).

Blood clots: A blood clot is a clump of blood that has changed from a liquid to a gel-like or semisolid state. Blood clots are formed to stop bleeding that occurs due to tissue injury. Though blood clots are useful for stopping bleeding, they may be harmful when abnormally formed within blood vessels as they block blood vessels, inhibit blood flow to essential organs such as the brain, heart, or lungs, and result in serious conditions. The common risk factors for blood clots are obesity, smoking, cancer, family history of blood clots, age over 65 years, certain birth control pills, or pregnancy. If you experience chest pressure, sudden shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, speaking, or seeing, please consult a doctor immediately, as these might be symptoms of blood clots. Quick medication is advised to reduce the risk of serious conditions due to blood clots.
