Entry terms

  • LMWH
  • Low Molecular Weight Heparin
  • Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin

Note

  • /antag = probably HEPARIN ANTAGONISTS

Scope note

  • Heparin fractions with a molecular weight usually between 4000 and 6000 kD. These low-molecular-weight fractions are effective antithrombotic agents. Their administration reduces the risk of hemorrhage, they have a longer half-life, and their platelet interactions are reduced in comparison to unfractionated heparin. They also provide an effective prophylaxis against postoperative major pulmonary embolism.
