Q: Your patient is receiving heparin to treat thromboembolism. Which statement would you include in your teaching about heparin?
A) Heparin inactivates prothrombin
B) heparin crosses into the placenta
C) heparin's antidote is protamin zinc
D) heparin may be given with warfarin
Heparin and warfarin may be used together because they inhibit two different pathways to fibrin formation. Heparin is usually given in acute situations and prophylactically to prevent clot formatin, but it can only be given parenterally. Warfarin inhibits the hepatic synthesis of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors, taking longer to reach the therapeutic leve, so it's used primariy for long-term therapy. Heparin blocks the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin and fibrinogen to fibrin but doesn't inactivate prothrombin. Because it's a large polar molecule, it can't cross the plancenta. The antidote for heparin is protamin sulfate; protamine zinc is used in the preparation of NPH insulin.

I believe in natural thyroid supplements . I love it and believe in this product. I have also dropped 5 lbs and I am not changing my eating guide. No dark circles under my eyes also! I don't know how it works I just know it works.
I had my first outbreak of Herpes virus nearly 4 years ago. Of all the horridness, the pain and itching were unbearable. I literally freaked out as my general physician said that it had no cure. The outbreaks were not that frequent initially, but every time I fall sick, it would resurface. I had so many sores this year that I was desperate to try anything to get rid of them. Three months ago a friend suggested that I try Dr sikama remedy that's helping people get cured from HSV, COUGHING, HIV&AIDS, GENITAL HERPES, SNEEZING, HEPATITIS B, CANCER e.t.c. I quickly ordered the product and started using the remedies. I'm so relieved to say that I've not had even one outbreak for a whole month now. Moreover, I'm feeling great from within. I truly endorse this herbs product Dr sikama render to me. So if you are suffering from any deadly disease you can also contact this great man on his email: Drsikama@gmail.com call/WhatsApp:+2348130725051
