Fraxiparine 3075IU Injection

Fraxiparine 3075IU Injection belongs to the class of ‘anticoagulants’ (blood thinners), primarily used to prevent and treat harmful blood clots. Fraxiparine 3075IU Injection is also used to prevent stroke or heart attack and deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in leg veins). It reduces the risk of blood clots in patients undergoing larger orthopaedic surgeries like elective hip surgeries. A blood clot can occur in any part of the body, leading to a heart attack, stroke and damage to organs (even coma or death). Blood clots can reach the arteries or veins in the organs like the brain, kidney, heart, lungs and limbs.

Fraxiparine 3075IU Injection contains ‘Nadroparin’ that belongs to the class of low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs). It works by inhibiting the production of clotting factors. This further prevents the conversion of fibrinogen (soluble protein) to fibrin (insoluble protein), thereby preventing blood clot formation. Fraxiparine 3075IU Injection helps in the free flow of blood through your veins, making it less likely to form a serious blood clot. 

Fraxiparine 3075IU Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional, do not self-administer. Your doctor will advise the dosage and duration of Fraxiparine 3075IU Injection based on your medical condition.

Fraxiparine 3075IU Injection is composed of Nadroparin, an anticoagulant or a blood thinner. It is low molecular weight heparin and prevents the formation of blood clots by inhibiting the production of clotting factors. It also reduces the risk of blood clots in patients undergoing larger orthopaedic surgeries like elective hip surgeries. Fraxiparine 3075IU Injection helps in the free flow of blood, thereby preventing the risk of heart attack, stroke, deep vein thrombosis (blood clot in the vein), and pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the arteries of lungs). Fraxiparine 3075IU Injection is used to prevent blood clotting in extracorporeal circulation (apparatus carrying the blood outside the body) during haemodialysis (purifying blood in a person whose kidney are abnormally functioning) and hemofiltration (renal replacement therapy) processes.

A blood clot is a clump of blood that has changed from liquid to gel-like or semisolid state. Blood clots are formed to stop bleeding that occurs due to tissue injury. Though blood clots are useful to stop bleeding, they may be harmful when abnormally formed within the blood vessels, restricting the blood flow to essential organs, such as the brain, heart, or lungs, resulting in severe conditions.

Deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in legs) is a medical condition in which blood clots form in deep veins, usually in the legs. The symptoms include leg pain or swelling. 

A heart attack occurs when a blood clot blocks the blood flow to the heart. This blockage of arteries is often an accumulation of fat, cholesterol and other substances, which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries). Signs of a heart attack include chest pain, upper body pain, sweating, nausea, fatigue and trouble breathing.
