Acitrom 1mg & Heplock

Acitrom 1mg & Heplock

Hi

My mother is undergoing treatment for metastatic breast cancer. a hickman catheter has been inserted for chemotherapy administration. she was diagnosed with bilateral chronic subdural hematoma in october 2008, in view of her poor health condition she was treated conservatively (no surgery was performed) , the SDH has almost resolved now, but has been advised against any anticoagulants and antiplatelets for lifetime by her neuro specialist.

Now for hickman catheter  maintenance she has been advised Acitrom 1mg daily by her oncologist. Is Acitrom safe for her ! can heplock be used on regular basis to flush the catherter. please shed some light.
