It is administered subcutaneously through a pre-filled syringe containing 0.6 ml. of solution with a dosage of 60 mg. per syringe. This particular packaging comes in a pack of 2 syringes.

Indications

Novoparin is indicated for the prevention of blood clots in various clinical scenarios. It is commonly used in the following situations:

• Prophylaxis of DVT in patients undergoing surgery
• Treatment and prevention of pulmonary embolism
• Prevention of blood clots in patients with certain medical conditions

Mechanism of Action

Novoparin belongs to a class of medications known as low molecular weight heparins. It works by inhibiting certain clotting factors in the blood, specifically factor Xa and thrombin. By doing so, Novoparin helps to prevent the formation of blood clots and reduces the risk of complications associated with clotting disorders.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dose of Novoparin is 60 mg. administered subcutaneously once daily. The injection should be given in the abdominal area, avoiding any scars or areas with bruising. Each syringe is pre-filled with 0.6 ml. of solution, which corresponds to the 60 mg. dosage.

Side Effects

Like any medication, Novoparin may cause side effects in some patients. Common side effects include:

• Bruising or bleeding at the injection site
• Redness or irritation at the injection site
• Low platelet count
• Allergic reactions

If you experience any severe side effects or signs of an allergic reaction, seek medical attention immediately.

Precautions

Before using Novoparin, inform your healthcare provider if you have any of the following conditions:

• History of bleeding disorders
• Recent surgery or trauma
• Severe liver or kidney disease
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding

It is important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions carefully when using Novoparin to minimize the risk of complications.

Storage

Store Novoparin syringes in a cool, dry place away from direct light and heat. Keep them out of reach of children and pets. Do not freeze the syringes, and do not use them if the solution appears discolored or contains particles.

Conclusion

Novoparin is a widely used medication for the prevention of blood clots in patients at risk for thrombotic events. By inhibiting clotting factors in the blood, it helps to reduce the risk of complications associated with clotting disorders. When used according to the prescribed dosage and administration guidelines, Novoparin can be an effective and safe treatment option for patients in need of anticoagulant therapy.
