Key Benefits
Fragmin 5000IU Injection 0.2 ml belongs to a class of drugs known as anticoagulants or blood thinners. Fragmin 5000IU Injection 0.2 ml contains ‘Dalteparin’ used to prevent clot formation in deep vein thrombosis (veins of the legs), pulmonary embolism (lungs), stroke (brain) and heart in patients with atrial fibrillation (irregular heart rhythm). Fragmin 5000IU Injection 0.2 ml is primarily used to prevent and treat the risk of the acute coronary syndrome (sudden reduction or blockage of blood flow to the heart) and stroke by reducing blood clot formation. Besides this, it reduces the risk of clots in people who have undergone knee or hip replacement surgeries and abdominal surgery. Fragmin 5000IU Injection 0.2 ml works by stopping the action of clotting factor Xa and thrombin (a protein that causes clotting). This prevents fibrinogen’s conversion (soluble protein) to fibrin (insoluble protein), thereby preventing blood clot formation.
