About ARIXTRA 7.5MG INJECTION

ARIXTRA 7.5MG INJECTION belongs to a class of drugs called anticoagulants (blood thinner) primarily used to prevent/treat deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in leg veins), pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung), heart attack, and severe angina. It also reduces the risk of blood clots after orthopedic (such as hip or knee surgery), or abdominal surgery. ARIXTRA 7.5MG INJECTION prevents blood clot formation during and shortly after restricted movement because of an acute illness. Deep vein thrombosis is a medical condition in which blood clots form in deep veins, usually in the legs. Pulmonary embolism is a condition in which a blood clot blocks the arteries in the lungs.

ARIXTRA 7.5MG INJECTION contains ‘Fondaparinux sodium’ that works by inhibiting the action of clotting factors (a natural substance in the blood that causes clotting). Thereby preventing the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin (a protein that binds platelets together and forms a clot) and helping prevent blood clot formation. It eases blood flow through the veins, making it less likely to develop a severe blood clot.

ARIXTRA 7.5MG INJECTION will be administered by a trained healthcare professional; hence do not self-administer. Some people may experience unusual bleeding, anemia (low number of red blood cells), bruising or swelling. Most of these side effects of ARIXTRA 7.5MG INJECTION do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to consult a doctor before using ARIXTRA 7.5MG INJECTION. ARIXTRA 7.5MG INJECTION is not recommended for children below 17 years of age. ARIXTRA 7.5MG INJECTION should be used with caution in the elderly above 60, as they may be at high risk of bleeding. If you have a stomach ulcer, kidney or liver problems, high blood pressure, or bleeding problems, inform your doctor before receiving ARIXTRA 7.5MG INJECTION. If you are about to undergo surgery, inform your doctor about the treatment with ARIXTRA 7.5MG INJECTION. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any interactions.
