Heparin gel is a popular topical, over the counter medication, applied directly to the skin and recommended in various traumatic and venous problems such as: soft tissue injuries (swelling, contusions, post-traumatic hematoma), sports injuries (muscles strains, sprains), chronic venous insufficiency (superficial thrombophlebitis, varicose veins inflammation and post-injection phlebitis). The medication is frequently used in field of rehabilitation (sports medicine, chronic venous insufficiency). Post-marketing surveillance using tools such as data mining of spontaneous (passive) reports and investigation of case reports to identify adverse drug reactions are very important in drug safety monitoring.
