Defencath

Taurolidine In Heparin Sodium

What is Defencath used for?

This combination medication is used to prevent blood infections caused by a tube (catheter) that is placed into a vein for dialysis. Taurolidine is an antimicrobial that decreases the amount of bacteria and fungus inside the catheter. Heparin is known as an anticoagulant. It helps keep blood flowing smoothly and from clotting in the catheter by making a certain natural substance in your body (anti-clotting protein) work better. This form of heparin must not be used to treat or prevent blood clots in the body.
