    What are the uses for Fragmin?

    Dalteparin is used to treat and prevent harmful blood clots. Preventing harmful blood clots helps to reduce the risk of a stroke or heart attack. This medication helps keep your blood flowing smoothly by lowering the activity of clotting proteins in the blood. Dalteparin is a type of heparin, and works as an anticoagulant (commonly called a "blood thinner"). Conditions that increase your risk of developing blood clots include certain types of surgeries (such as hip replacement or abdominal surgery), long periods of being in one position (immobile), certain types of heart attack, and a certain type of chest pain called unstable angina. For some medical conditions, dalteparin may be used in combination with other "blood thinners." Dalteparin may also be used to treat and prevent clots from coming back in patients with cancer.

    Patient Education

    Dalteparin Injection


    Dalteparin is used in combination with aspirin to prevent serious or life-threatening complications from angina (chest pain) and heart attacks. Dalteparin is also used to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT; a blood clot, usually in the leg), which can lead to pulmonary embolism (PE; a blood clot in the lung), in people who are on bedrest or who are having hip replacement or abdominal surgery. It is also used treat DVT or PE and prevent it from happening again in children one month of age and older, and in adults with DVT or PE who have cancer. Dalteparin is in a class of medications called anticoagulants ('blood thinners'). It works by decreasing the clotting ability of the blood.

    Blood Thinners


    What are blood thinners?

    Blood thinners are medicines that prevent blood clots from forming. They do not break up clots that you already have. But they can stop those clots from getting bigger. It's important to treat blood clots, because clots in your blood vessels and heart can cause heart attacks, strokes, and blockages.

    Who needs blood thinners?

    You may need a blood thinner if you have:

    What are the different types of blood thinners?

    There are different types of blood thinners:

    • Anticoagulants, such as heparin or warfarin (also called Coumadin), slow down your body's process of making clots.
    • Antiplatelets, such as aspirin and clopidogrel, prevent blood cells called platelets from clumping together to form a clot. Antiplatelets are mainly taken by people who have had a heart attack or stroke.

    How can I take blood thinners safely?

    When you take a blood thinner, follow the directions carefully. Blood thinners may interact with certain foods, medicines, vitamins, and alcohol. Make sure that your health care provider knows all of the medicines and supplements you are using.

    You may need regular blood tests to check how well your blood is clotting. It is important to make sure that you're taking enough medicine to prevent clots, but not so much that it causes bleeding.

    What are the side effects of blood thinners?

    Bleeding is the most common side effect of blood thinners. They can also cause an upset stomach, nausea, and diarrhea.

    Other possible side effects can depend on which type of blood thinner that you are taking.

    Call your provider if you have any sign of serious bleeding, such as:

    • Menstrual bleeding that is much heavier than normal
    • Red or brown urine
    • Bowel movements that are red or black
    • Bleeding from the gums or nose that does not stop quickly
    • Vomit that is brown or bright red
    • Coughing up something red
    • Severe pain, such as a headache or stomachache
    • Unusual bruising
    • A cut that does not stop bleeding
    • A serious fall or bump on the head
    • Dizziness or weakness
