About Fraxiparine 5700IU Injection

Fraxiparine 5700IU Injection belongs to the class of ‘anticoagulants’ (blood thinners), primarily used to prevent and treat harmful blood clots. Fraxiparine 5700IU 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 5700IU 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 5700IU Injection helps in the free flow of blood through your veins, making it less likely to form a serious blood clot.

Disease/Condition Glossary

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.
