About Daltehep 5000IU Injection

DALTEPARIN belongs to a class of drugs known as anticoagulants (blood thinner), primarily used to prevent and treat stroke risk, and heart attack in patients with atrial fibrillation (irregular heart rhythm) reducing blood clots formation. Besides this, it is also used to prevent deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in leg veins) and pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung) and reduces the risk of getting clots in people who have undergone knee or hip replacement 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 your arteries or veins in the organs like the brain, kidney, heart, lungs, and limbs.

DALTEPARIN contains ‘Dalteparin’ works by inhibiting the production of clotting factors Xa and thrombin. This prevents fibrinogen's conversion (soluble protein) to fibrin (insoluble protein), thereby preventing blood clot formation. It makes your blood flow easily through your veins, making it less likely to form a serious blood clot. So, an intake of DALTEPARIN helps prevent blood clots if you have an increased risk of having a heart attack, or stroke.

Take DALTEPARIN as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take DALTEPARIN for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. Some people may experience unusual bleeding, hematoma (blood clotting under the skin), thrombocytopenia (low number of platelets), pain, and irritation at the injection site. Most of these side effects of DALTEPARIN do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to DALTEPARIN or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to consult a doctor before using DALTEPARIN. DALTEPARIN should be used with caution in the elderly above 65 years of age as they may be at high risk of bleeding. DALTEPARIN should be given to children only if prescribed by a doctor. Extra care must be taken while brushing your teeth or shaving to prevent bleeding. If you have a stomach ulcer, kidney or liver problems, high blood pressure, or bleeding problems, inform your doctor before taking DALTEPARIN. Try not to stop taking this medicine of your own. Stopping a sudden intake of DALTEPARIN may worsen your condition and increase your risk of cardiovascular death, heart attack, and stroke.

Medicinal Benefits of Daltehep 5000IU Injection

DALTEPARIN belongs to a class of drugs known as anticoagulants or blood thinners. DALTEPARIN contains ‘Dalteparin’ used to prevent clot formation in deep vein thrombosis (veins of the legs), pulmonary embolism (lungs), stroke (brain), and heart in patients with atrial fibrillation (irregular heart rhythm). DALTEPARIN is primarily used to prevent and treat the risk of the acute coronary syndrome (sudden reduction or blockage of blood flow to the heart) and stroke by reducing blood clot formation. Besides this, it reduces the risk of getting clots in people who have undergone knee or hip replacement surgeries and abdominal surgery. DALTEPARIN works by stopping the action of clotting factor Xa and thrombin (a protein that causes clotting). This prevents fibrinogen's conversion (soluble protein) to fibrin (insoluble protein), thereby preventing blood clot formation.
