Heparin, in combination preparations, is an anticoagulant used for the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic disorders such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. It acts by potentiating the activity of antithrombin III, thereby inhibiting the formation of fibrin clots. This drug is typically administered parenterally due to poor oral bioavailability and is used in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Heparin combinations may contain local anesthetics or other agents. Heparin and its combinations remain approved and widely used today.
