Nadroparin, sold under the brand name Fraxiparin among others, is a medication used to prevent and treat blood clots, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism.[1] It may be used following surgery, in people in hospital who are not moving, and as with hemodialysis.[1][2] It is given by injection under the skin.[1]

Common side effects include bruising at the site of injection and bleeding.[1][2] Other side effects may include heparin induced thrombocytopenia and high potassium.[2] In those with kidney problems, lower doses may be required.[2] It is a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) which works by attaching to plasma protein anti-thrombin III.[1][2] It is made from unfractionated heparin.[2]

Nadroparin was approved for medical use in Australia in 1995.[2] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines as an alternative to enoxaparin.[3] It is available in a number of European countries and Canada but not the United States.[4][5]

History

Nadroparin was developed by Sanofi-Synthélabo.
