Daltepin 2500iu 2ml

Daltepin 2500iu 2ml 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.

Daltepin 2500iu 2ml 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 Daltepin 2500iu 2ml helps prevent blood clots if you have an increased risk of having a heart attack or stroke.

Daltepin 2500iu 2ml belongs to a class of drugs known as anticoagulants or blood thinners. Daltepin 2500iu 2ml contains ‘Dalteparin’ used to prevent clot formation in deep vein thrombosis (veins of the legs), pulmonary embolism (lungs), stroke (brain) and heart in patients with atrial fibrillation (irregular heart rhythm). Daltepin 2500iu 2ml is primarily used to prevent and treat the risk of the acute coronary syndrome (sudden reduction or blockage of blood flow to the heart) and stroke by reducing blood clot formation. Besides this, it reduces the risk of clots in people who have undergone knee or hip replacement surgeries and abdominal surgery. Daltepin 2500iu 2ml works by stopping the action of clotting factor Xa and thrombin (a protein that causes clotting). This prevents fibrinogen's conversion (soluble protein) to fibrin (insoluble protein), thereby preventing blood clot formation.

Blood clot: A blood clot is a clump of blood that has changed from a liquid to a gel-like or semisolid state. Blood clots are formed to stop bleeding that occurs due to tissue injury. Though blood clots are useful to stop bleeding, they may be harmful when abnormally formed within blood vessels as they block blood vessels and inhibit blood flow to essential organs such as the brain, heart or lungs and result in serious conditions.

Deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in legs): Deep vein thrombosis is a medical condition in which blood clots form in deep veins, usually in the legs. The symptoms include leg pain or swelling.

Pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung): Pulmonary embolism is a condition that occurs as the blood clots break and travel to the lungs from deep veins in the legs or other parts of the body. The symptoms of pulmonary embolism include chest pain, cough and shortness of breath. Stroke is a condition where a blood clot restricts blood flow to your brain, causing brain cells to die and possibly resulting in permanent brain damage or death.

Heart attack: A heart attack is when a blood clot blocks a blood vessel supplying your heart, starving it of oxygen and causing chest pain and sometimes death. Quick medication is advised to reduce the risk of serious conditions due to blood clots.
