FRAGMIN INJECTION 2500IU (Dalteparin Sodium)

FRAGMIN INJECTION 2500IU (Dalteparin Sodium) is a low molecular weight heparin used primarily for the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic disorders. This medication is particularly effective in reducing the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), especially in patients undergoing surgery or those with limited mobility.

Key highlights of FRAGMIN include:

• Mechanism of Action: Dalteparin sodium works by inhibiting factor Xa and thrombin, thus preventing the formation of blood clots.


• Indications: It is indicated for the prevention of venous thromboembolism in patients undergoing orthopedic or abdominal surgery, as well as for the treatment of DVT and PE.


• Administration: The injection is typically administered subcutaneously, allowing for easy self-administration by patients or caregivers.


• Dosage Flexibility: The dosage may be adjusted based on the patient’s weight, clinical condition, and the type of procedure being performed.


• Monitoring: While routine monitoring of anticoagulation levels is not always necessary, periodic assessments may be recommended for certain high-risk patients.


• Side Effects: Common side effects may include bleeding, injection site reactions, and thrombocytopenia. Patients should be monitored for these potential adverse effects.


• Contraindications: FRAGMIN should not be used in patients with active bleeding, severe renal impairment, or those with a history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.

FRAGMIN INJECTION 2500IU is an important therapeutic option for managing and preventing serious blood clot-related conditions, contributing to improved patient outcomes and safety in clinical settings.

1. Consult Your Healthcare Provider: Always start by discussing your medical history and current medications with your healthcare provider to determine if FRAGMIN is right for you.


2. Preparation: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Gather all necessary supplies, including the FRAGMIN injection, alcohol swabs, and a sharps disposal container.


3. Check the Medication: Inspect the FRAGMIN injection for any discoloration or particles. Only use the medication if it is clear and colorless.


4. Choose an Injection Site: Select a site for the injection, typically the fatty tissue of the abdomen, at least two inches away from the navel. Rotate injection sites to avoid irritation.


5. Clean the Area: Use an alcohol swab to clean the chosen injection site. Allow the area to dry completely to reduce the risk of irritation.


6. Prepare the Injection: Remove the cap from the syringe without touching the needle. Hold the syringe in one hand and use the other hand to pinch the skin at the injection site.


7. Inject the Medication: Insert the needle at a 90-degree angle into the pinched skin. Push the plunger down slowly and steadily to inject the medication. Do not inject into muscle.


8. Withdraw the Needle: Once the injection is complete, withdraw the needle quickly and apply gentle pressure with a cotton ball or gauze to the injection site.


9. Dispose of the Needle: Place the used syringe and needle in a sharps disposal container immediately after use. Do not attempt to recap the needle.


10. Follow-Up: After administering the injection, monitor yourself for any side effects, such as unusual bleeding or bruising. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any concerning symptoms.

Always adhere to your healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosage and frequency of injections. Regular follow-up appointments are important to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as necessary.
