The side effects seen most often with Caprin 5000 IU Injection are bleeding, bruising, injection site pain and low platelets (HIT). Most are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. Tell your doctor if one persists or worries you.
Before you start, tell your doctor about any liver, kidney or heart problem, whether you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every other medicine you take, including supplements and ayurvedic preparations. Some of them can change how Caprin 5000 IU Injection works.
Most side effects of Caprin are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
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.
Heparin is an anticoagulant that enhances the activity of antithrombin III. This inhibits thrombin and factor Xa, reducing formation and growth of clots.
High bleeding risk; seek urgent care for unusual bleeding, black stools, blood in urine, severe headache or weakness. Risk of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia; monitor platelets. Use caution in recent surgery, ulcers, uncontrolled hypertension, liver disease. Antidote is protamine sulfate under medical supervision.
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.
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.
