PARIHEP 40 INJ

Parihep 40 mg Injection is used to prevent or treat blood clots caused by medical conditions, such as unstable angina, after an operation or long periods of bed rest due to illness, after a heart attack, and the formation of blood clots in the dialysis machine tubes. A blood clot is a mass of blood that forms when platelets, proteins, and cells in the blood stick together. A blood clot can occur in any body part, leading to a heart attack, stroke, and organ damage (even coma or death).

Parihep 40 mg Injection contains Enoxaparin, which is a low molecular weight heparin that works by preventing existing blood clots from growing larger, allowing your body to break them down and prevent them from harming you. On the other hand, it inhibits the formation of new blood clots in your blood.

Parihep 40 mg Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Side effects of Parihep 40 mg Injection include increased liver enzymes, skin rash (hives, urticaria), itchy red skin, bruising or pain at the injection site, and headache. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, report to your doctor immediately.

If you are known to be allergic to Parihep 40 mg Injection or any other medicines, inform your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before receiving the Parihep 40 mg Injection . Also, disclose to your doctor if you have any pre-existing medical conditions like a stomach ulcer, recent surgery of the brain or eyes or spine, recent bleeding stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, or recent onset of stroke or kidney or liver disorders. Also, let your doctor know if you are underweight or overweight or if you have high levels of potassium in your blood.
