Fragmin Ampule, containing the active ingredient dalteparin sodium, is commonly used to treat conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism, and to prevent blood clots in certain medical procedures or surgeries.
It is also used to treat conditions associated with clotting disorders, such as unstable angina and non-Q-wave myocardial infarction.
Dalteparin sodium belongs to a class of medications called low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs). It works by inhibiting certain clotting factors and enzymes in the blood involved in blood clot formation.
Fragmin Ampule is used in conditions such as deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism, and to prevent clot recurrence in patients with cancer.
Do’s
Don'ts
This is not an exhaustive list, and other side effects may occur. If you experience any unusual or severe side effects while taking Fragmin ampule, contact your healthcare provider for medical advice.
Disclose any allergies to dalteparin, heparins, pork products, or benzyl alcohol (inactive ingredient) before using Fragmin.
Inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing health issues, particularly:
Limit alcohol consumption while using Fragmin, as it can increase the risk of stomach bleeding.
Take caution with sharp objects and avoid activities like contact sports to minimize cuts, bruises, or injuries.
Be aware that older adults may be more susceptible to bleeding side effects.
Fragmin use increases the risk of bleeding near the spinal cord during certain procedures, potentially leading to paralysis. Discuss this risk with your healthcare provider before any spinal procedure. You may need to stop Fragmin temporarily before and after the procedure.
The risk of bleeding is higher if you take other medications that affect blood clotting, such as:
Immediately report any symptoms of bleeding near the spinal cord, such as back pain, numbness/tingling/weakness in legs, or loss of bowel/bladder control.
Fragmin should only be used during pregnancy if clearly necessary. Discuss the risks and benefits with your healthcare provider.
Fragmin passes into breast milk. Consult your healthcare provider before breastfeeding while using Fragmin.
