The statement that is not an advantage of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) over unfractionated heparin (UFH) is:
b. Has a half life of 30 min so effect can be easily reversed
LMWH typically has a longer half-life than UFH, often around 4 to 6 hours, making it less easily reversible compared to the shorter half-life of UFH.
