| blood thinner |
A drug that is often given continuously through an intravenous line to thin the blood so that clots form less easily than before. This drug, if administered intravenously, is usually only given in a hospital setting. Once the heparin infusion is stopped, the natural blood clotting mechanism regains its original strength (usually within six hours after the drug is discontinued). Heparin can also be given by injection beneath the skin (subcutaneously) for prolonged blood thinning action.
