FRAGMIN 2500IU INJ PFS

FRAGMIN 2500IU Injection (Prefilled Syringe) contains the active substance Dalteparin Sodium. It belongs to a group of medicines known as Low Molecular Weight Heparins (LMWHs) or Anticoagulants (Blood Thinners). It is primarily used to prevent and treat blood clots, including Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE).
