Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Heparin is a natural anticoagulant produced in the liver and helps in checking the clotting of blood inside blood vessels.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are five DOACs currently on the market: dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban and betrixaban. They were also previously referred to as “new/novel” and “non-vitamin K antagonist” oral anticoagulants (NOACs).

Detailed explanation-3: -Descriptions. Heparin injection is an anticoagulant. It is used to decrease the clotting ability of the blood and help prevent harmful clots from forming in blood vessels. This medicine is sometimes called a blood thinner, although it does not actually thin the blood.

Detailed explanation-4: -Potassium oxalate specifically removes calcium and acts like an anticoagulant, which is why it’s helpful in blood testing and laboratories. If you take a blood test following a DWI arrest, the same substance will be inside the test tube that stores your blood sample.
