Guest guest Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 TImentin is a form of penicillin. I have no idea why the hospital staff refers to it as " chemo " . One of the side-effects (according to online info from the drug manufacturer), is bruising and bleeding. It says one should immediately notify ones physician if this occurs. I'm assuming you've talked with your doctor about this. As to the heparin flush causing bleeding/excess bruising - again the drug web site says to inform your physician if this occurs - they may choose to use less.
