Reviparin is an antithrombotic and belongs to the group of low molecular weight heparins.

Pharmacodynamic

Reviparin is a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) obtained by nitrous acid depolymerization of heparin extracted from porcine intestinal mucosa. Its structure is characterized, for the most part, by a group of 2-O-sulfo-α-lidopyranosuronic acid. The average molecular weight is about 3900 daltons.

Indications

• Prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Prophylaxis of perioperative thromboembolism^[1][2]
• Treatment of DVT with or without pulmonary embolism (PE)^[3]
• Prophylaxis of acute thrombotic events after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA)^[4][5]
