Fragmin (Dalteparin Sodium)

Fragmin (Dalteparin Sodium) is a low-molecular-weight heparin used for anticoagulation. It is commonly administered for blood clot prevention and treatment, including during haemodialysis. Learn more about its uses and effects.

Fragmin is primarily used as an anticoagulant to prevent and treat blood clots. It is often administered during haemodialysis to maintain blood flow and prevent clotting in the dialysis circuit. Fragmin may also be used for subcutaneous or intravenous administration to manage various conditions requiring anticoagulation.

Fragmin works by inhibiting certain clotting factors in the blood, which helps to prevent the formation of blood clots. Common effects may include bruising or bleeding at the injection site. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized information.

Fragmin should be handled with care to avoid accidental injury. It is important to follow the prescribed administration route, whether subcutaneous or intravenous. Patients should be monitored for signs of bleeding or unusual bruising. Always store Fragmin as directed to maintain its effectiveness.

Fragmin may interact with other medications that affect blood clotting, such as warfarin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions. Alcohol may also affect the efficacy of Fragmin.
