Neutrahep Injection is an anticoagulant reversal medication containing the active ingredient Protamine Sulfate. This medication is commonly used as an antidote to reverse the anticoagulant (blood-thinning) effects of heparin, and it is often used to prevent blood clot formation. This drug helps to counteract the anticoagulant effects of heparin. It does not thin the blood itself; instead, it neutralizes the effects of heparin, allowing the blood to clot normally.
This drug is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to it or its component. Before initiating the treatment with Neutrahep Injection, inform your physician if you are allergic to fish, have previously undergone heart surgery, are an insulin-dependent diabetic, or if you are a man who has had a vasectomy or is infertile. It is important to communicate this information to your physician to ensure your safety and appropriate medication use. Do not try to treat the overdose on your own. Avoid taking any additional medications or interventions without medical guidance. The management of an overdose should be under the supervision of physicians.
Patients undergoing prolonged medical procedures involving repeated doses of this drug should be subject to careful monitoring of clotting parameters. If you suspect that you have used more Neutrahep Injection than you should or if you are experiencing any signs of an overdose, it is necessary to take immediate action to ensure your safety. Inform your physician if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, suspect pregnancy, or planning to become pregnant. Please consult your doctor for more advice. This drug is not recommended for children aged twelve years and younger.

Q 3. How quickly does Neutrahep Injection work to reverse heparin's effects?Neutrahep Injection acts relatively quickly to neutralize heparin's effects, but the speed of reversal can depend on several factors, including the dosage of the drug and the amount of heparin in the patient's system.
Q 4. When is Neutrahep Injection administered?Neutrahep Injection is usually administered in emergency situations when there is excessive bleeding or hemorrhage due to a heparin overdose or to reverse the effects of heparin during surgery.
Q 5.
