medicines that may change the way heparin works or increase the chance of
bleeding if they are used together with heparin. It is best to check with
your health care professional before taking any other medicine while you are

you are using this medicine
.
It is recommended that you carry identification stating that you are using
heparin. If you have any questions about what kind of identification to carry,
check with your health care professional.
While you are using this medicine, it is very important that you avoid
sports and other activities that may cause you to be injured. Report to your

and floss gently. Also, it is best to use an electric shaver rather than a
blade.
