1. NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT

Heparin Sodium 10 I.U./ml Flushing Solution for 

maintenance of patency of intravenous devices.

2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION

Heparin sodium 10 I.U./ml (50 I.U. in 5ml)

For a full list of excipients, see section 6.1.

3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM

Flushing solution for maintenance of patency of 

intravenous devices

A colourless or straw coloured liquid, free from turbidity, 

and from matter that deposits on standing.

4. CLINICAL INDICATIONS 

4.1 Therapeutic indications

Heparin Sodium 10 I.U./ml Flushing Solution is an 

anticoagulant and acts by potentiating the naturally 

occurring inhibitors of thrombin and factor X (Xa).

Heparin Sodium 10 I.U./ml Flushing Solution is indicated 

in any clinical circumstances in which it is desired to 

maintain the patency of indwelling catheters/cannulae, 

attendant lines or heparin locks.



4.2 Posology and method of administration

Heparin Sodium 10 I.U./ml Flushing Solution is not 

recommended for systemic use.

For cleaning indwelling cannulae.

Material to be used as a cannula flush (5ml; 50 units) 

every four hours or as required. 



4.3 Contraindications

The very rare occurrence of established 

hyper-sensitivity to heparin is the only contraindication 

to Heparin Sodium 10 I.U./ml Flushing Solution.



4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use

Caution should be exercised in patients with known 

hypersensitivity to low molecular weight heparins.

Rigorous aseptic technique should be observed at all 

times in its use.

Platelet counts should be measured in patients 

receiving heparin flushes for longer than five days 

(or earlier in patients with previous exposure to 

heparin). In those who develop thrombocytopenia or 

paradoxical thrombosis, heparin should immediately be 

eliminated from all flushes and ports.

Repeated flushing of a catheter device with heparin 

may result in a systemic anticoagulant effect.

4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products 

      and other forms of interactions

When an indwelling device is used for repeated 

withdrawal of blood samples for laboratory analyses 

and the presence of heparin or saline is likely to 

interfere with or alter results of the desired blood tests, 

the in situ heparin flush solution should be cleared from 

the device by aspirating and discarding a volume of 

solution equivalent to that of the indwelling 

venipuncture device before the desired blood sample 

is taken.



4.6 Use during pregnancy and lactation

The safety of Heparin Sodium 10 I.U./ml Flushing 

Solution in pregnancy is not established, but the dose of 

heparin involved would not be expected to constitute a 

hazard.

Heparin does not appear in breast milk.



4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines

None stated. 



4.8 Undesirable effects

Used as directed, it is extremely unlikely that the low 

levels of heparin reaching the blood will have any 

systemic effect. However, there have been rare reports 

of immune-mediated thrombocytopenia and thrombosis 

in patients receiving heparin flushes (see also 

Section 4.4, Special Warnings and Precautions for Use).

Hypersensitivity reactions to heparin are rare.  

They include urticaria, conjunctivitis, rhinitis, asthma, 

cyanosis, tachypnoea, feeling of oppression, fever, 

chills, angioneurotic oedema and anaphylactic shock.

Reporting of suspected adverse reactions

Reporting suspected adverse reactions after 

authorisation of the medicinal product is important. 

It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk 

balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare 

professionals are asked to report any suspected 

adverse reactions via the national reporting system:

thoroughly flushed with a 0.9% saline or a 5% glucose 

solution prior to and following the reteplase injection.

6.3 Shelf life

Unopened – 3 years

From a microbiological point of view, unless the method
