Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?

A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Caprin 5000 IU Injection. The brand name, manufacturer, inactive ingredients and price can differ, and so can release form, so a substitute is not automatically interchangeable.

All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.

Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.

Benefits of Caprin 5000 IU Injection

In Prevention of heart attack
Caprin stops blood cells clumping into a clot inside a narrowed heart artery, which is how most heart attacks begin. Taken every day, it lowers that risk considerably.
In Prevention of stroke
Caprin lowers the chance of a clot forming and travelling to the brain, which is the commonest cause of stroke in people with heart disease or an irregular rhythm.
In Blood clots
Caprin prevents an existing clot in a leg or lung from growing and stops new ones forming while the body clears the old one, reducing the risk of a dangerous clot reaching the lungs.

How Caprin 5000 IU Injection works

Heparin is an anticoagulant that enhances the activity of antithrombin III. This inhibits thrombin and factor Xa, reducing formation and growth of clots.

Given only by a healthcare professional as IV infusion/IV or SC injection. Dose and monitoring (aPTT/anti-Xa, platelet count) depend on indication. Do not self-inject unless trained.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause serious and difficult-to-control bleeding. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
