HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS 9-VALENT VACCINE

BEMIPARIN SODIUM

Bemiparin sodium is a low molecular weight heparin obtained by depolymerisation of heparin Na from porcine intestinal mucosa. Its anti-Xa activity ranges from 80-120 anti-Xa IU/mg and its anti-IIa activity ranges from 5-20 anti-IIa IU/mg, respectively. Without raising the risk of bleeding, its high anti-Xa/IIa ratio can lead to a higher antithrombotic effect.

Use this medication precisely as recommended by your physician. Follow the prescription of your doctor carefully.

The medication dose given by your physician is based on your health conditions, other medications or food supplements taken, and your reaction to the treatment. To diminish risks for adverse effects, do not increase your dosage, thus take it regularly, or take it as instructed by your physician.
