Consult your doctor first:

Even if the salt is the same, your doctor can confirm if the substitute is right for your condition, dosage, and health history.

Watch out for allergies or reactions:

Some people may react differently to certain brands due to inactive ingredients. If you notice any side effects, inform your doctor immediately.

Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Medicinal Benefits

Fondum Injection belongs to a class of drugs known as anticoagulants or blood thinners. Fondum Injection contains ‘Fondaparinux sodium’ used to prevent deep vein thrombosis (blood clot in the blood vessels of legs) and pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the blood vessels lungs). It also reduces the risk of blood clots during orthopedic (such as hip or knee surgery), abdominal surgery, or restricted movement because of an acute illness. Fondum Injection works by stopping the action of clotting factor Xa (a natural substance in the blood that causes clotting). This inhibits fibrin production (a protein that binds platelets together and forms a clot), preventing blood clot formation. Fondum Injection is also used to treat certain types of heart attack and chest pain called unstable angina.
