A member asked:
Started on heparin injections this morning and i have a very tiny cut on my leg that keeps bleeding all day is this normal?

Yes: Heparin is a blood thinner, therefore small cuts will bleed. Also, u need to be careful with injuries, bruises, contusions. Notify your MD if you get blood from the stool, urine or nose.
