Faximab 10 Injection 5 ml

Faximab 10 Injection 5 ml belongs to the group of medicines called 'antiplatelet agents' used to prevent the formation of blood clots, thereby reducing the chance of Myocardial infarction. Faximab 10 Injection 5 ml is used as an adjunct during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure in patients with unstable angina not responding to conventional medical therapy when PCI procedure is planned within 24 hours.

Faximab 10 Injection 5 ml contains Abciximab, which belongs to the monoclonal anti-glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antibodies class. It works by blocking the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor's activity, thereby preventing platelet aggregation. This causes inhibition of fibrinogen binding, reducing the chance of blood clot formation. Faximab 10 Injection 5 ml results in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events like myocardial infarction (heart attack), repeat coronary revascularization, and stent thrombosis (ST).
