Precautions

This medication is a very potent drug and must be used only under the strict supervision of a physician. Special precautions should be taken when administering to patients with diseases that have a high risk of bleeding, as bleeding can occur in various parts of the body in those receiving this medication. It should not be administered to patients who have hypersensitivity to this drug, those with inappropriate results from blood coagulation tests, patients with existing bleeding issues, severe liver or kidney disease, etc. Caution is also required for patients who have recently undergone surgery or trauma, or those who have received spinal or epidural anesthesia. During use, blood coagulation ability tests and platelet counts should be checked regularly to detect and respond to side effects such as bleeding or thrombocytopenia early. If severe thrombocytopenia occurs, administration should be stopped immediately, and alternative anticoagulants should be used if necessary. This medication may interact with various drugs; extra caution is needed when used in conjunction with pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and anticoagulants. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should be particularly cautious due to the risk of uterine and placental bleeding, and careful management is required during delivery. Elderly patients and children may have an increased risk of bleeding, requiring extra caution during administration. In the case of overdose, hemorrhagic complications may arise; therefore, neutralization with protamine sulfate may be needed, keeping in mind the possible occurrence of adverse reactions throughout this process. To prevent infection during administration, the patient's skin and the instruments used should be thoroughly disinfected, and intramuscular injections are best avoided. This medication should be used immediately after opening, and any remaining solution should be discarded.
