About HEPARIN LEO 100UNIT/ML
HEPARIN LEO 100UNIT/ML is a medication primarily used to prevent and treat blood clots, which can lead to serious conditions such as pulmonary embolism or stroke.

Active Ingredient & Action
HEPARIN SODIUM, the active ingredient in HEPARIN LEO 100UNIT/ML, acts by binding to antithrombin III, significantly increasing its ability to inactivate several key enzymes of the coagulation system. This results in the prevention of the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin and fibrinogen to fibrin, which are crucial steps in the formation of blood clots.
