What is Arixtra?

Arixtra is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline. It is used to prevent blood clots called deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which can lead to blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). A DVT can occur after certain types of surgery. The antithrombotic activity of fondaparinux sodium is the result of antithrombin III (ATIII) mediated selective inhibition of Factor Xa

Arixtra is a Factor Xa inhibitor (anticoagulant) indicated for:

• Prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery (including extended prophylaxis), hip replacement surgery, knee replacement surgery, or abdominal surgery
• Treatment of DVT or acute pulmonary embolism when administered in conjunction with warfarin

What doses of Arixtra are available?

Arixtra is available as single-dose, prefilled syringes, in the following doses: 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg, or 10 mg of fondaparinux.

For prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis give 2.5 mg subcutaneously once daily after hemostasis has been established. The first dose should be given no earlier than 6 to 8 hours after surgery and continued for 5 to 9 days. For patients undergoing hip fracture surgery, extended prophylaxis up to 24 additional days is recommended.

For the treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism give 5 mg (bodyweight <50 kg), 7.5 mg (50 to 100 kg), or 10 mg (>100 kg) subcutaneously once daily. Treatment should continue for at least 5 days until an INR of 2 to 3 is achieved with warfarin sodium.

Always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice or about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
