Hi i am going for a procedure and have switched from warfarin to heparin. i would just like to know when i can reuse an injection site. thanks?

Injections: You can reuse the same general body areas for subcutaneous injections as long as you avoid prior pinpoint sites. Don't inject into any reddened ,swollen, ecchymotic(bruised)or inflamed areas.
