Uses of Arixtra 2.5mg Pre Filled Syringe 5ml Injection

Arixtra 2.5mg Pre Filled Syringe 5ml Injection is used to prevent blood clots in the legs and lungs after major surgery, such as hip or knee replacement or abdominal surgery, and in people who are immobile because of illness. It is also used to treat deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, and in some heart attacks and unstable angina to stop clots from growing.

How Arixtra 2.5mg Pre Filled Syringe 5ml Injection works

Fondaparinux is a synthetic medicine that helps antithrombin, a natural protein in the blood, to block factor Xa. Factor Xa is a key step in clot formation, so blocking it makes the blood less likely to clot, without acting on platelets directly.
