About Arganat 250Mg/2.5Ml Inf

Arganat 250Mg/2.5Ml Inf belongs to the anticoagulant medication class known as a direct thrombin inhibitor. It is used to manage heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), a rare, life-threatening complication of heparin therapy. Besides this, it works as an anticoagulant in adult patients with or at risk for HIT undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Arganat 250Mg/2.5Ml Inf contains 'Argatroban,' which is a direct thrombin inhibitor. It works by reversibly binding to thrombin, a substance in the blood that causes blood clotting. This prevents the formation of harmful clots in the body.

Arganat 250Mg/2.5Ml Inf is usually administered in the clinical/hospital setting under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional. The most common side effects in HIT patients were dyspnea, hypotension, fever, diarrhoea, sepsis, and cardiac arrest. The most common side effects in PCI patients were chest pain, hypotension, back pain, nausea, vomiting and headache. These side effects may vary individually. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Before taking the Arganat 250Mg/2.5Ml Inf, let your doctor know about all your medical conditions, sensitivities, and all medications you are using.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a serious consequence that can arise in patients who have been exposed to any kind or dose of heparin. HIT is distinguished by a decrease in platelet count and a hypercoagulable condition. HIT patients may potentially develop thromboembolic consequences, which can result in considerable morbidity and mortality.

FAQs

Arganat 250Mg/2.5Ml Inf contains 'Argatroban,' which is a direct thrombin inhibitor. It works by reversibly binding to thrombin, a substance in the blood that causes blood clotting. This prevents the formation of harmful clots in the body.
The clinical assessment and laboratory data are used to diagnose HIT. Primary laboratory diagnostics for HIT include immunologic assays such as an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and functional platelet-activation assays such as the serotonin release assay (SRA).
When a person with haemophilia takes the blood-thinning treatment, their body develops antibodies against it, resulting in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is triggered by antibodies that recognise complexes between platelet factor 4 (PF4) and heparin or glycosaminoglycan side chains.
