WHAT HEPARINISED
SALINE INJECTION IS
USED FOR
Heparinised Saline Injection belongs
to a group of medicines known as
anticoagulants. Anticoagulants work
by decreasing the clotting ability of
your blood and help stop clots
forming in the blood vessels.
Anticoagulants are sometimes called
"blood thinners", although they do
not actually thin the blood. Heparin
will not dissolve blood clots that
have already formed, but it may
prevent any clots that have already
formed from becoming larger and
causing serious problems.
Heparinised Saline Injection is used
to prevent the blocking of injection
equipment often caused by blood
clots.
Heparinised Saline Injection may be
used for the treatment of other
conditions that are not mentioned
above. Your doctor will be able to
tell you about the specific condition
for which you have been prescribed
Heparinised Saline Injection.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
•
maintenance of the patency of intravenous injection devices
4.2
DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Heparinised Saline Injection contains no antimicrobial agent and is
therefore intended for
single use only.
To maintain the patency of intravenous injection devices and prevent
clot formation, flush the
catheter/cannula with 10 – 50 IU every four hours. The solution may
be used following initial
placement of the device in the vein, after each injection of a
medication, or after withdrawal of
blood for laboratory tests. If the drug to be administered is
incompatible with Heparin (see
Section 4.5 Interactions With Other Medicines and Other Forms of
Interaction), the device
must be flushed through with normal 0.9% Sodium chloride solution
before and after the drug
is administered. When heparin would interfere with or alter the
results of blood tests, the
heparin solution should be cleared from the device by aspirating and
discarding it before
withdrawing the blood sample. Consult the device manufacturer’s
instructions for specific
details.
Note: Since repeated injections of small doses of heparin can alter
tests for activated partial
thromboplastin time (APTT), a baseline value for APTT should be
obtained prior to insertion
of an intravenous device.
4.3
CONTRAINDICATIONS
•
known hypersensitivity to heparin or pork products,
•
heparinised saline should not be used for anticoagulant therapy,
•
severe thrombocytopenia,
