PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Solution for injection. The solution is a clear and colourless liquid. 4. 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. Prevention of Venous Thromboembolic Events (VTE) in patients undergoing abdominal surgery who are judged to be at high risk of thromboembolic complications, such as patients undergoing abdominal cancer surgery (see section 5.1). Prevention of Venous Thromboembolic Events (VTE) in medical patients who are judged to be at high risk for VTE and who are immobilised due to acute illness such as cardiac insufficiency and/or acute respiratory disorders, and/or acute infectious or inflammatory disease. 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 considere Aqra d-dokument sħiħ
