Vistarin Injection 2000 Anti-Xa IU/0.2 ml contains Enoxaparin Sodium, a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) used to prevent and treat blood clots. It works as an anticoagulant, selectively inhibiting Factor Xa and to a lesser degree Factor IIa (thrombin), thereby reducing the formation and extension of thrombi.
This lower-dose pre-filled syringe is ideal for patients requiring prophylactic anticoagulation, including those at moderate risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE), such as post-surgical or immobilized patients. Its pre-measured format ensures accurate dosing and convenience for safe therapy.

Indications
Vistarin Injection 2000 Anti-Xa IU/0.2 ml is indicated for:
-
Prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing surgery or at moderate risk of clot formation
-
Prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE)
-
Patients requiring short-term anticoagulation in medical or surgical settings
-
Adjunct therapy in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) when low-dose anticoagulation is indicated
Mechanism of Action
Enoxaparin Sodium functions by:
-
Binding to antithrombin III, enhancing its inhibition of Factor Xa and partially Factor IIa (thrombin)
-
Preventing clot formation and propagation in veins and arteries
-
Offering predictable anticoagulant activity with a lower risk of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) than standard heparin
-
Reducing the risk of venous and arterial thromboembolic events in at-risk patients
Dosage and Administration
-
Administered via subcutaneous injection, usually in the abdomen
-
Pre-filled syringe ensures accurate dosing of 2000 Anti-Xa IU/0.2 ml
-
Dosage frequency and duration are determined by clinical indication and patient risk factors
-
Avoid intramuscular injections to minimize hematoma formation
-
Rotate injection sites to reduce skin irritation
-
Monitor platelet count, renal function, and bleeding signs during therapy
Benefits
-
Prevents venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism in at-risk patients
-
Provides predictable anticoagulation with minimal laboratory monitoring
-
Lower risk of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) compared to standard heparin
-
Pre-filled syringe ensures safe, convenient, and accurate administration
-
Ideal for prophylactic use in surgical or immobilized patients
Side Effects
Common side effects may include:
-
Mild injection site reactions (pain, redness, swelling)
-
Minor bruising or bleeding
Rare but serious side effects:
-
Severe internal or gastrointestinal bleeding
-
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT)
-
Allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing
Seek immediate medical attention if severe bleeding or allergic reactions occur.
