Unfractionated Heparin Market - Global Trends Outlook 2026

Unfractionated heparin (UFH) is a natural agent widely used to prevent clot formation in vessels. Unfractionated heparin is a fast-acting blood thinner, which works with antithrombin, a natural protein in the body, to block clot formation. UFH is administered to patient intravenously into an arm vein or as a subcutaneous injection under the skin. UFH can also be administrated orally. However, oral absorption of unfractionated heparin is poor, owing to their size and anionic structure. UFH is not absorbed properly from the gastrointestinal tract when taken orally.
