B- higher doses followed by smaller doses

what is the most reason for not given heparin by IM and PO?

what is the best route to give heparin?

Heparin is normally given in low to high doses, to act prophalaxisly in the prevention of thrombosis.

You do not give PO doses of Heparin because it is not absorbed that way:up:, and you do not give IM because of an increased risk for hematoma in the injection site:yeah:. Heparin is best when given either IV or SubQ..

Heparin is best given in high doses follow by smaller daily doses. Because the pt in the question is experiencing internal bleeding and heparin should be given quickly to increase the blood coagulation and later can be given in smaller doses daily.
