| heparin |
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.

| heparin |
A large polysaccharide molecule, originally derived from bovine lung or porcine intestine, which blocks the formation of blood clots (acts as an anticoagulant) by activating antithrombin III. The polysaccharide is composed of D-glucosamine-2,6-disulfate and D-glucuronic acid-2-sulfate, and is used for prevention and treatment of acute thrombosis.

| heparin |
a blood-thinning drug used to treat women suspected of certain immune causes of miscarriage. The drug cannot cross the placenta, so does not affect the baby. It should be discontinued, however, well prior to delivery since it will hamper the mother's ability to clot from labor or surgery.
