WHAT QUIXIDAR IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
QUIXIDAR IS A MEDICINE THAT HELPS PREVENT BLOOD CLOTS FROM FORMING IN
THE BLOOD VESSELS
(

prevent the formation of blood clots in the blood vessels of the legs
or lungs after orthopaedic
surgery (such as hip or knee surgery) or abdominal surgery

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Prevention of Venous Thromboembolic Events (VTE) in patients
undergoing major orthopaedic
surgery of the lower limbs such as hip fracture, major knee surgery or
hip replacement surgery.

patients undergoing abdominal
cancer surgery (see section 5.1).

4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
_Patients undergoing major orthopaedic or abdominal surgery _
The recommended dose of fondaparinux
is 2.5 mg once daily administered post-operatively by
subcutaneous injection.
The initial dose should be given
_ _
6 hours following surgical closure provided that haemostasis has been
established.
Treatment should be continued until the risk of venous
thrombo-embolism has diminished, usually
until the patient is ambulant, at least 5 to 9 days after surgery.
Experience shows that in patients
undergoing hip fracture surgery, the risk of VTE continues beyond 9
days after surgery. In these
patients the use of prolonged prophylaxis with fondaparinux should be
