About Fonaxel Injection

FONDAPARINUX belongs to a class of drugs called anticoagulants (blood thinner) primarily used to prevent and treat deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in leg veins) and pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung) stroke, unstable angina (chest pain), heart attacks. It also reduces the risk of blood clots during orthopedic (such as hip or knee surgery), abdominal surgery or restricted movement because of an acute illness. Deep vein thrombosis is a medical condition in which blood clots form in deep veins usually in the legs. Pulmonary embolism is a condition in which a blood clot blocks the arteries in the lungs.

FONDAPARINUX contains ‘Fondaparinux’ that works by inhibiting the action of clotting factors Xa (a natural substance in the blood that causes clotting). Thereby, prevents the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin (a protein that binds platelets together and forms a clot) and helps in preventing blood clots formation. It makes your blood flow easy through your veins making it less likely to form a serious blood clot.
