Tinzaparin Syringe – Innohep Generic, 10 Syringes
LMWH Anticoagulant Injection for DVT & PE | Multiple Strengths
Tinzaparin prefilled syringes are a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) anticoagulant injection used to prevent and treat blood clots, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).
Administered as a subcutaneous injection, tinzaparin works by enhancing anti-factor Xa activity, reducing clot formation and preventing complications in high-risk patients such as those undergoing surgery or with reduced mobility.
Available in multiple strengths from 2500iu to 18000iu, supplied by Dock Pharmacy, a GPhC-registered UK pharmacy, with pharmacist review.
What Is Tinzaparin?
Tinzaparin sodium is a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) used as an anticoagulant (blood thinner) to prevent and treat blood clots.
It is commonly prescribed for:
- deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- pulmonary embolism (PE)
- clot prevention after surgery
- high-risk immobility patients
Tinzaparin is administered via subcutaneous injection and is widely used in both hospital and outpatient settings.
⚠️ Prescription required
How does Tinzaparin Syringe work?
Tinzaparin works by enhancing the body’s natural anticoagulant system.
Step-by-Step Mechanism:
1. Activates Antithrombin
Tinzaparin binds to antithrombin, a natural protein that regulates clotting.
2. Inhibits Factor Xa
This complex inhibits factor Xa, a key enzyme required for clot formation.
3. Reduces Thrombin Generation
By blocking factor Xa, tinzaparin reduces thrombin production, preventing fibrin clot formation.
4. Prevents Clot Growth
This helps stop existing clots from growing and reduces the risk of new clots forming
