Fragmin 5000IU Injection

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

Fragmin 5000IU Injection is a medication belonging to the class of anticoagulants, specifically low molecular weight heparins (LMWH). It is commonly prescribed to prevent blood clots from forming in the veins, which can occur due to conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), or during certain medical procedures such as surgery. Fragmin works by inhibiting the formation of blood clots, thereby reducing the risk of potentially life-threatening complications associated with clotting disorders.

Fragmin 5000IU Injection is primarily used for:

• Prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients undergoing surgery, particularly orthopedic or abdominal surgery.
• Treatment and prevention of blood clots in conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).
• Prevention of clotting in the extracorporeal circulation during hemodialysis.

BENEFITS OF Fragmin 5000IU Injection

• Effectively prevents the formation of blood clots, reducing the risk of serious complications such as pulmonary embolism and stroke.
• Offers a convenient and effective form of anticoagulant therapy, particularly in situations where oral medications may be contraindicated or impractical.
• Has a predictable anticoagulant effect, allowing for easier dosing and management compared to unfractionated heparin.
