Only Available By Prescription
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Heparin is a blood thinner medication available by prescription used to prevent blood clots for people at risk of developing them because of major surgery or a pre-existing condition. It is an anticoagulant that prevents blood platelets from clumping together and forming potentially dangerous blood clots. The Heparin antidote is an injected medication for blood clot prevention, but it may also be administered as an IV when the patient is hospitalized immediately following a major surgery. Buy Heparin from Canada and Canpharm and get the best price on it.

Does Heparin dissolve clots?
No, the active ingredient in Heparin is effective for preventing blood clots from forming but it will not dissolve or break up clots that have already formed.
Is Heparin a blood thinner?
No, Heparin is not a blood thinner medication. It is an anticoagulant drug, meaning it prevents blood from clotting but does not thin the blood.
How long does Heparin stay in your system?
Healthy adults will have Heparin staying in their system for approximately 2 hours.
How to administer Heparin?
Choose your administration site – stomach (excluding a 2” radius around the navel), top or outer part of your thighs, or the back of your upper arms. Then use your thumb and forefinger to pinch up a fold of skin and hold steady as you make the injection into this fold of skin. Heparin should not be injected into a muscle, area close to a bone, in veins, or into the face or scalp.
To avoid the risk of lipodystrophy it is best to use a different site for each injection.
