How long in advance do I have to stop taking Tinzaparin na 14,000 unit a day before I have a ultrasound guided epidural.

I am not familiar with tinzaparin. I guess it is an anticoagulant because of the use for DVT. Stopping the drug before an invasive procedure will depend on the half-life of the drug and the risks of the procedure. I recommend you discuss this with the physician performing the epidural.
