can subq heparin be given in the arm?

The heparin is given by deep subcutaneous injection in the arm or abdomen with a fine needle (25- to 26-gauge) to minimize tissue trauma. A concentrated solution of heparin sodium is recommended. Such prophylaxis should be reserved for patients over the age of 40 who are undergoing major surgery.

Differences from unfractionated heparin Differences from heparin (i.e. "unfractionated heparin") include: Average molecular weight: heparin is about 15 kDa and LMWH is about 4.5 kDa. Less frequent subcutaneous dosing than for heparin for postoperative prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism.

Yes, if a formulation labeled for intramuscular injection is given by the subcutaneous or intradermal route, it should be repeated. The dose may be administered as soon as possible. There is no minimum interval required between the invalid dose (by subcutaneous or intradermal route) and the repeat dose.

Coadministration of XARELTO® with food can approximately increase the mean AUC by 39% and Cmax by 76% in both the 15 mg and 20 mg strengths. XARELTO® 15 mg and 20 mg tablets should be taken orally once daily with the evening meal to reduce the potential risk of decreased efficacy of therapy.

It is available in an oral form but is usually given intravenously (through a small piece of tubing inserted into the patient's vein), either in a peripheral (arm) vein or a central line using a Hickman catheter, Broviac catheter, or a port-a-cath.

The recommended dose of Xgeva is 120 mg administered as a subcutaneous injection every 4 weeks in the upper arm, upper thigh, or abdomen. Administer calcium and vitamin D as necessary to treat or prevent hypocalcemia [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Growth hormone therapy has been classically given by the intramuscular route. Subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of human growth hormone (hGH) has been avoided owing to the effect that this route of administration might have on the development of antibodies to hGH.

Heparin is a medicine that prevents clotting and helps keep the PICC line open. Before giving medicine or fluid, flush the line with normal saline. After the dose, flush it twice: once with normal saline and once with heparin. Follow the instructions under "Giving medicine and flushing the PICC line," below.
