Encyclopedia > Dalteparin

Dalteparin is a low molecular weight heparin. It is marketed as Fragmin by Pfizer. Like other low molecular weight heparins, dalteparin is used for prophylaxis or treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. In medicine, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is a class of medication used as an anticoagulant in diseases that feature thrombosis, as well as for prophylaxis in situations that lead to a high risk of thrombosis. ... Pfizer, Incorporated (NYSE: PFE), is a global pharmaceutical company, with headquarters in New York City. ... It has been suggested that thrombophlebitis be merged into this article or section. ...
