Product introduction

Use of this medicine may increase your risk of bleeding. Let your doctor know immediately if you see pinpoint rash or blood in your vomits, urine, or stool. Before taking it, you must inform the doctor if you are suffering from any bleeding disorder, kidney or liver disease. Also, let your doctor know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and about all the other medications that you are taking regularly.
Uses of Fondum Injection
Benefits of Fondum Injection
In Deep vein thrombosis
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when blood clots develop in deep veins, commonly in the legs. These clots can cause pain, swelling, and redness, and may lead to serious complications if they move to other parts of the body. Fondum 2.5mg Injection helps prevent and treat DVT by reducing clot formation and improving blood flow, lowering the chances of further clot-related problems.
In Pulmonary embolism
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a serious condition where a blood clot blocks a vessel in the lungs, often originating from a DVT. This can cause sudden chest pain, breathlessness, and even be life-threatening. Fondum 2.5mg Injection is used to manage PE by helping dissolve or prevent further clot formation, thereby improving oxygen flow and reducing the risk of severe complications.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
