Uses of Hepcin Injection

Prevention of Blood clots

Benefits of Hepcin Injection

Prevention of Blood clots
Formation of blood clots blocks one or more veins, usually in your legs. Hepcin Injection is used to prevent formation of blood clots near the surface of your skin. It dissolves the clots and also relieves pain and inflammation by increasing the blood flow. This improves the overall healing process.

Hepcin Injection is given as an injection by the doctor and should not be self-administered. The condition usually improves on its own in some time. Additionally, the doctor might recommend applying heat to the painful area, elevating the affected leg, using an over-the-counter painkiller and possibly wearing compression stockings.

Side effects of Hepcin Injection

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Common side effects of Hepcin

Bleeding
Erythema (skin redness)

How to use Hepcin Injection

Your doctor or nurse will give you this medicine. Kindly do not self administer.

How Hepcin Injection works
