Hi Dr Grief, My name is Sarah. I have been in the hospital the last three days and have been give Heparin injections. My last injection was this morning and I am continuing to bleed from the site. How can I stop this? I have applied multiple band aids and it soaks through and onto my clothes. Thanks, Sarah
Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that heparin is anticoagulant and should not be taken if the bleeding is continuous, I advise you to take consultation with your doctor and stop the heparin. Heparin has action of thinning the blood. I will be happy to answer all your future concern. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious disease specialist. Wish you the best health at Chat Doctor.
