Some people may experience haemorrhage (bleeding), thrombocytopenia (low platelets), hypersensitivity reactions, and elevations of liver enzyme (aminotransferase) levels. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

Side effects of Infa-Hep 25000 IU/5 ml Injection 5 ml

  • 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.

  • 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.

How Infa-Hep 25000 IU/5 ml Injection 5 ml Works

Infa-Hep 25000 IU/5 ml Injection 5 ml contains heparin, which works as an anticoagulant, commonly known as a blood thinner. It does not actually thin your blood, but instead blocks certain natural proteins in your body that are responsible for forming clots. By keeping these proteins inactive, the medicine prevents new clots from starting and stops existing clots from getting any bigger, allowing your body to naturally break them down over time.
