Fragmin Reviews
For Deep Vein Thrombosis, Prophylaxis "I have multiple myeloma .The medication is working and I have not experienced blood clots since I started this protocol but I find the needles sometimes dull and difficult to insert into my skin, is there anyway these pre-filled syringes could come with sharper smaller needles?"
For Deep Vein Thrombosis Prophylaxis after Abdominal Surgery "I find this drug very painful to use. The needle is very painful entering your skin and it stings for a while afterwards. I had to come off it after a couple of weeks as I couldn’t. stand the pain and discomfort so unable if it helped or not."
For Venous Thromboembolism "I find using Fragmin very easy to use. You push the needle in slowly, then release the liquid. When you finish, leave the needle in for a few seconds, then pull the needle out slowly. My needles I inject with are sharp. I have no problems or side effects."
For Deep Vein Thrombosis, Prophylaxis "I find the needle end too blunt and they can be hard to pierce my skin. Hopefully they’re doing the right job though! I'm on this to prevent a DVT from broken ankle"
"Information was clear to understand."
