Heparin Calcium
This is the calcium salt form of heparin, a naturally derived anticoagulant (blood thinner) that prevents the formation and growth of blood clots. It is often preferred over the sodium salt for subcutaneous injection because it may cause less local bruising. It works by activating antithrombin, a natural clot-prevention protein.
