1 | Pregnancy | Extremely painful. I have to take fragmin as part of my IVF treatment. Out of the entire treatment, I found taking these injections most painful. I am traumatized and fear every evening when I have to take these. The needle is think and painful - am not sure why they didn't choose to go for a thinner needle! Extremely traumatic to poke and when you think the worst is over - the liquid also causes excruciating pain!!! I have to inject slowly to make it bearable. And I give cold treatment after. I do think Pfizer has tried to cut costs in making this drug as it has no patient comfort in consideration. If there's a similar drug by other pharmaceutical - please ask for it and run away from this one if you have an option ! | F | 34 | 1 months 1X day | 11/26/2023 | 2 | Prevent clots during pregnancy | First two months, no problem. Except for the occasional bruise, and burning sensation as medicine was being injected. After that, woke up one morning, belly and thighs covered in red, itchy, raised welts. Absolutely horrible. Doctors prescribed benadryl ,then switched meds to lovenox. Now, a week later, still no relief. | F | 33 | 2 months 5000 units | 10/23/2013 |
FRAGMIN (DALTEPARIN SODIUM): Dalteparin is used to treat and prevent harmful blood clots. Preventing harmful blood clots helps to reduce the risk of a stroke or heart attack. This medication helps keep your blood flowing smoothly by lowering the activity of clotting proteins in the blood. Dalteparin is a type of heparin, and works as an anticoagulant (commonly called a "blood thinner"). Conditions that increase your risk of developing blood clots include certain types of surgeries (such as hip replacement or abdominal surgery), long periods of being in one position (immobile), certain types of heart attack, and a certain type of chest pain called unstable angina. For some medical conditions, dalteparin may be used in combination with other "blood thinners." Dalteparin may also be used to treat and prevent clots from coming back in patients with cancer.
