Protamine sulfate is a medication that is used to reverse the effects of heparin.[3] It is specifically used in heparin overdose, in low molecular weight heparin overdose, and to reverse the effects of heparin during delivery and heart surgery.[3][4] It is given by injection into a vein.[3] The onset of effects is typically within five minutes.[2]
Common side effects include low blood pressure, slow heart rate, allergic reactions, and vomiting.[3] Allergic reactions may be severe and include anaphylaxis.[3] The risk is greater in males who have had a vasectomy.[5] While there is no evidence of harm from using during pregnancy it has not been well studied in this group.[6] Protamine works by binding with heparin.[3]
Protamine sulfate was approved for medical use in the United States in 1969.[3] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[7] It was originally made from the sperm of salmon (salmine, salmon protamine).[3] It is now mainly made using recombinant biotechnology.[8]
