Fragmin Injection (Dalteparin) Information

Fragmin injection, which contains the active ingredient dalteparin, is a low–molecular–weight heparin (LMWH). It is used to prevent and treat harmful blood clots. It is commonly prescribed for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing surgery or those who are bedridden due to acute illness. Fragmin is also used in the treatment of DVT and pulmonary embolism (PE), particularly in patients with cancer, and may be used in patients with certain types of unstable heart conditions such as unstable angina or non–Q-wave myocardial infarction.

Fragmin is administered by subcutaneous injection, usually once daily, although the dose varies depending on the condition being treated. Its predictable absorption and long duration of effect allow for consistent anticoagulation without the frequent blood monitoring required with traditional heparin.

The mechanism of action of dalteparin involves enhancing antithrombin's activity, a protein that helps block clotting factors, especially Factor Xa. By reducing Factor Xa activity, dalteparin slows clot formation and lowers the risk of thrombosis in both veins and arteries. Its more focused effect contributes to lower bleeding risk and more stable anticoagulation than older forms of heparin. Because it begins working quickly and maintains steady levels, it is widely used both in hospital and outpatient settings.
