Etymology

Lipo-Hepin is a trade name made from the parts lipo- and hepin. lipo- comes from a Greek root meaning 'fat', and hepin points to heparin, which comes from a Greek word for 'liver'. So the name suggests a heparin-like, blood-thinning medicine and helps you remember that Lipo-Hepin is used to prevent blood clots.
