PG - 8-10 AB - Studies in 8 healthy volunteers showed that the low molecular weight heparin Fragmin KabiVitrum is eliminated according to first order kinetics without dose dependency after intravenous injection of doses between 40 and 120 anti-Xa U/kg. Fragmin remains in the circulation more than twice as long as unfractionated heparin (UFH). Fragmin administered subcutaneously has a bioavailability which is much greater than that of UFH. Fragmin administered subcutaneously twice a day results in a significant anti-Xa activity and provides an alternative to intravenous infusions.
