Buy Heparin 5000 IU Injection online. This sterile solution contains heparin sodium, an anticoagulant (blood thinner) used to prevent and treat harmful blood clots. Each container delivers 5,000 international units (IU) of heparin, a strength commonly used for preventing clots and for starting treatment. Check the label for the concentration per mL and the volume. It is a prescription medicine, so a valid prescription is needed for your order. See today’s price above and add it to your cart.
Heparin is normally given by or under the supervision of a healthcare professional, and the dose is adjusted by blood tests. Approved uses and legal status differ between countries, so this page covers the USA, UK, Australia, the UAE and Russia.
Heparin sodium injection does not have one single reference brand. It is sold as generic heparin by several manufacturers and under local brand names, and the product may be given by intravenous injection, subcutaneous injection or infusion.
Compare the units per mL, the total volume, the manufacturer and the packaging on your product. Heparin strength is measured in international units (IU), and different concentrations are supplied for different uses, so check the label before ordering. Heparin is made from pig intestinal tissue, which matters to some people for dietary or religious reasons.
Preventing and treating clots: heparin is used to prevent and treat deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, and to prevent clots in people at risk during or after surgery or periods of immobility.
Heart and artery conditions: it is used in unstable angina and heart attack, in blocked arteries in the limbs, and in atrial fibrillation with a high clot risk, alongside other treatment.
Common 5,000 IU use: a 5,000 IU dose is a standard unit dose for preventing clots in hospital patients and for starting treatment, often as an injection under the skin or into a vein.
Heparin is an anticoagulant (blood thinner). It binds to antithrombin, a natural protein in the blood, and makes it far more effective at blocking clotting factors, mainly thrombin and factor Xa. This stops new clots forming and stops existing clots from growing, while the body slowly dissolves them. The effect begins at once when injected into a vein and wears off within hours.
Heparin is given by or under the supervision of a healthcare professional, and the dose is individual. The US label describes 5,000 units subcutaneously every 8 to 12 hours for prevention of clots, and an intravenous starting dose of 5,000 units followed by a continuous infusion for treatment, adjusted to blood tests.
The UK product information describes similar regimens. Doses for children, older adults and people with kidney disease differ, and treatment is monitored with aPTT or anti-Xa tests. Do not self-inject unless trained. Each container is for single use. Always follow the product leaflet and the advice of your prescriber.
Seek urgent medical help for heavy or uncontrolled bleeding, black or bloody stools, vomiting blood, a severe headache, new clots, skin discolouration or blackening at the injection site, a sudden drop in platelets, or swelling of the face, lips or throat. Protamine sulfate can reverse heparin in an emergency.
Store the ampoules or vials below 25°C, protected from light, following any instructions on the pack. Keep out of the reach of children. Each container is for single use only, and unused solution should be thrown away.

What does 5000 IU mean on a heparin injection?
IU means international units, a measure of heparin’s activity rather than weight. A 5,000 IU container delivers that many units in total. The units per mL and the volume vary by product, so read your label.
How often is heparin 5000 IU given?
Labels describe 5,000 units every 8 to 12 hours under the skin to prevent clots, or an intravenous dose followed by infusion for treatment. Your prescriber chooses the schedule and adjusts it by blood tests.
Is heparin made from pork?
Yes. Heparin is extracted from the intestinal lining of pigs, which matters to some people for dietary or religious reasons. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about alternatives if this is a concern for you.
Can I inject heparin myself?
Only if a doctor has prescribed it for subcutaneous use and taught you how. Intravenous heparin and infusions are given by healthcare professionals. Do not self-inject without training.
What are the signs of bleeding on heparin?
Watch for nosebleeds that will not stop, bleeding gums, easy bruising, blood in urine or stool, black stools and vomiting blood. Seek urgent medical help for heavy bleeding or any bleeding after a head injury.
Why are blood tests needed during heparin treatment?
Blood tests, such as aPTT or anti-Xa levels, show how strongly heparin is thinning the blood, and platelet counts check for a rare serious reaction. They help keep the dose safe and effective.
