Is It Safe To Have The Second Shot Of Heparin Within 24 Hours?
Hello Thanks for asking a question at HCM It is pleasure to help you at this moment Yes, you can take this dose little earlier. But make sure not to take any 2 doses with in 8 hrs span. It is always better to take less dose [when it is missed] than take higher doses. Hope this helps! Best Regards Dr Chaithanya
