What does the tetradecyl hydrogen label say about heparin?

Tetradecyl hydrogen label, drug interactions

The physician must use judgment and evaluate any patient taking antiovulatory drugs prior to initiating treatment with Sotradecol. (See ADVERSE REACTIONS section.) Heparin should not be included in the same syringe as Sotradecol, since the two are incompatible.

These are the labels' own sentences. PlainMeds does not grade interactions; a pharmacist or prescriber can say what they mean for one person's medicines.
