Description
Ardeparin is used to prevent blood clot formation following knee replacement surgery. It is an anticoagulant (blood thinner).
These blood clots can travel to the lungs and can become lodged in the blood vessels of the lungs, causing a condition called pulmonary embolism. It may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide as determined by your doctor.
This medication is dealt by injection under the skin, by a health care professional usually twice a day following surgery. Injection sites will be rotated to limit irritation. Do not inject into a muscle (intramuscularly). Properly discard used syringes and needles. Therapy with this medication may be continued for 7 to 14 days or until the risk of blood clot formation is limited.
