Description

Arixtra 2.5mg Pre-filled Syringe 5ml injection is a highly effective anticoagulant used to prevent and treat blood clots. The active ingredient, Fondaparinux Sodium, works by inhibiting factor Xa in the blood, which is essential in the clotting process. This helps to reduce the risk of thromboembolic events, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Arixtra 2.5mg is often prescribed to patients undergoing surgery, those with certain heart conditions, or those at risk of developing blood clots due to immobility or other medical conditions. The pre-filled syringe ensures precise dosing and ease of administration, providing patients with reliable and safe anticoagulation therapy.

Functions

The primary function of Arixtra 2.5mg Pre-filled Syringe is to prevent the formation of dangerous blood clots in patients at risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), or other clotting disorders. Fondaparinux Sodium, the active ingredient, works by selectively inhibiting Factor Xa, an enzyme crucial in the blood clotting cascade. This action helps prevent the formation of clots that could obstruct blood flow to critical areas such as the lungs, heart, or brain. By effectively managing coagulation, Arixtra provides a vital role in reducing the risks associated with clotting disorders and improving patient outcomes during surgeries or in post-operative care.

Precautions

Before using it, it is essential to inform your healthcare provider about any history of bleeding disorders, kidney issues, or if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Patients should undergo routine blood tests to monitor their coagulation status during treatment. Arixtra is typically not recommended for individuals with active bleeding, severe liver disease, or uncontrolled high blood pressure. Careful monitoring is necessary in patients with a history of thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) or hypersensitivity to Fondaparinux Sodium. Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider and consult them if you experience any unusual symptoms.

Side Effects

While Arixtra 2.5mg Syringe is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience mild to moderate side effects. Common side effects include bleeding complications such as bruising or bleeding gums, as well as pain or irritation at the injection site. Other potential side effects can include headache, fever, nausea, or dizziness. Although rare, serious side effects such as severe bleeding, thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), or allergic reactions may occur. If you experience unusual bleeding, shortness of breath, or signs of an allergic reaction (swelling of the face, lips, or throat), seek medical attention immediately.

Cautions

It should be used with caution in patients with a history of bleeding disorders, severe liver or kidney problems, or those undergoing major surgeries. Due to the blood-thinning effects of this medication, patients should avoid activities that could lead to injury, and extra care should be taken when using sharp objects or shaving. Alcohol consumption should be limited while using Arixtra, as it may increase the risk of bleeding. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using this medication. In addition, careful monitoring of kidney function is essential for patients receiving long-term treatment.
