Heparin is used as a classic anticoagulant in clinic. In addition, with
the ongoing pandemic and unknown challenges, the mechanism of action of
heparin in antiviral and anti-inflammatory aspects has been constantly
discovered and clarified. This also provides effective support for the
treatment of COVID-19 in specific contexts. Most importantly, heparin
may act as a multi-drug.
