Do you bleed to death if your heparin gets overdosed by injection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heparin overdose: Although Heparin can cause bleeding (if given appropriately or not), available treatments such as infusion of its antidote (protamine) and plamsa transfusion can usually prevent life-threatening complications.
