Fragmin is available in the form of a solution for intravenous injection in 1 ml ampoules, placed in a cardboard box of 10 pcs.
Pharmacological action of Fragmin
Fragmin actively affects blood clotting. The drug was created on the basis of a low molecular weight heparin concentrate with the addition of particles of the mucous membrane of the small intestine of a pig, and ion chromatography was used as additional purification.
According to Fragmin's instructions, the therapeutic effect is achieved within 3-4 hours after taking the drug. Bioavailability is about 90%. Fragmin is excreted from the body by the kidneys in the urine.
The course of treatment with the drug is prescribed with caution to patients with severe diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, hepatic and renal failure, since Fragmin increases the risk of internal bleeding. Also, the drug increases the risk of spinal hematoma when taken simultaneously with other anticoagulants and drugs containing heparin.
