Heparin
A short-acting injectable anticoagulant used in hospital and for bridging.
Heparin (unfractionated or low-molecular-weight heparin like enoxaparin) is used both during hospital admissions and as bridging therapy when warfarin is paused for surgery.
What this means for you: low-molecular-weight heparin is often self-administered as a daily injection in the days around surgery. Travel with extra supply and know how to inject yourself.
