Basrah - College of Pharmacy Media:

The College of Pharmacy at the University of Basrah organized a seminar titled "Heparin Resistance," in a lecture presented by Dr. Ali Mohammed Hadi.

The seminar included an explanation of the drug Heparin, which is used to treat Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary artery thrombosis. It is also used during open-heart surgery to reduce blood clots that may occur during the operation, as well as in the prevention of obstructive heart diseases and obstructive cerebral artery diseases.

The seminar highlighted that the importance of this drug lies in preserving the lives of patients in all these conditions. Recently, a high incidence of resistance to this drug has been observed, leading to a decreased clinical response and, consequently, an exacerbation of medical conditions.
