FDA Warnings

DALTEPARIN SODIUM

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Hemorrhage: Use caution in conditions with increased risk of hemorrhage ( 5
1 Risk of Hemorrhage including Spinal/Epidural Hematomas Spinal or epidural hemorrhage and subsequent hematomas can occur with the associated use of low molecular weight heparins or heparinoids and neuraxial (spinal/epidural) anesthesia or spinal puncture
The risk of these events is higher with the use of post-operative indwelling epidural catheters, with the concomitant use of additional drugs affecting hemostasis such as NSAIDs, with traumatic or repeated epidural or spinal puncture, or in patients with a history of spinal surgery or spinal deformity [see Boxed Warning , Adverse Reactions (6
To reduce the potential risk of bleeding associated with the concurrent use of FRAGMIN and epidural or spinal anesthesia/analgesia or spinal puncture, consider the pharmacokinetic profile of FRAGMIN [see Clinical Pharmacology (12

FONDAPARINUX SODIUM

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Spinal or epidural hematomas, which may result in long-term or permanent paralysis, can occur ( 5
1 ) Patients taking fondaparinux sodium injection with risk factors for bleeding are at increased risk of hemorrhage
2 ) Bleeding risk is increased in renal impairment and in patients with low body weight 50 kg (5
