Dalteparin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dalteparin is a low molecular weight heparin. It is marketed as Fragmin by Eisai. Like other low molecular weight heparins, dalteparin is used for prophylaxis or treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

The CLOT study, published in 2003, showed that in patients with malignancy and acute venous thromboembolism, dalteparin was more effective than coumarin in reducing the risk of recurrent embolic events.^[1]
