Abstract
An apparatus comprised of a canister having a valved opening thereon and containing, under pressure, heparin and a low boiling point propellant is disclosed. The valved opening can be activated to release a metered dose of aerosolized heparin to a patient or preferably to an inhalation device which improves efficiency with respect to the amount of heparin reaching the lungs of the patient.
