How it is classified
- Blood and blood-forming organs
The anatomical main group records the body system a medicine acts on. It is not a statement of what this ingredient treats, and nothing on this page is.
Products containing Heparin
Strengths and forms differ between these products — check them against your own. Containing the same active ingredient does not mean two products can be substituted for each other: whether a substitution is permitted is a provincial decision, and this page does not show it. Ask a pharmacist.

Health Canada files these separately, so they are counted separately here. They are chemically related to Heparin and a product on either page may be what you are holding — check the name on the box against the names above.
This is the only medication in Canada containing Heparin.
Only one authorised product in Canada contains this ingredient, so this page and that product’s page describe the same thing. That usually means no generic version has been authorised — not that alternatives were hidden.
