The medication is administered subcutaneously or intravenously, as directed by a doctor. It is important to monitor coagulation parameters during treatment.

Side effects may include bleeding, injection site reactions, or, in rare cases, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.

Heparin is not recommended for patients with hypersensitivity to this medication, severe coagulation disorders, or active bleeding.
