About Dalpin 5000IU Injection

Dalpin 5000IU Injection belongs to a class of drugs known as anticoagulants (blood thinner), primarily used to prevent and treat stroke risk, and heart attack in patients with atrial fibrillation (irregular heart rhythm), reducing blood clot formation. Besides this, it is also used to prevent deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in leg veins) and pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung) and reduces the risk of getting clots in people who have undergone knee or hip replacement surgeries. A blood clot can occur in any part of the body, leading to a heart attack, stroke and damage to organs (even coma or death). Blood clots can reach your arteries or veins in the organs like the brain, kidney, heart, lungs and limbs.

Dalpin 5000IU Injection contains ‘Dalteparin’ works by inhibiting the production of clotting factors Xa and thrombin. This prevents fibrinogen's conversion (soluble protein) to fibrin (insoluble protein), thereby preventing blood clot formation. It makes blood flow easily through your veins, making it less likely to form a serious blood clot. So, an intake of Dalpin 5000IU Injection helps prevent blood clots if you have an increased risk of having a heart attack or stroke.

Take Dalpin 5000IU Injection as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Dalpin 5000IU Injection for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition.
