About Fibroban 5Mg/100Ml Inj

Fibroban 5Mg/100Ml Inj belongs to a class of medicines called 'antiplatelets' (blood thinners) used to prevent blood clots. It helps to prevent heart attack and chest pain. It is intended for use with unfractionated heparin and aspirin. A blood clot is a clump of blood that has changed from a liquid to a gel-like or semisolid state. Blood clots are formed to stop bleeding that occurs due to tissue injury. Though blood clots are useful for stopping bleeding, they are harmful when abnormally formed within blood vessels as they block blood vessels and inhibit blood flow to essential organs such as the brain, heart, or lungs.

Fibroban 5Mg/100Ml Inj contains Tirofiban, a platelet aggregation inhibitor which works by preventing platelets (blood cells) from sticking together to form blood clots. Thus, it prevents blood clot formation.

Fibroban 5Mg/100Ml Inj will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Sometimes, Fibroban 5Mg/100Ml Inj may cause common side effects such as bleeding under the skin at the site of injection or into a muscle causing swelling, bleeding after surgery, invisible blood in stool or urine, headache or feeling sick. Most of these side effects of Fibroban 5Mg/100Ml Inj do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Tirofiban or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Fibroban 5Mg/100Ml Inj is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness were not established. If you are a pregnant or breastfeeding woman, inform your doctor before receiving Fibroban 5Mg/100Ml Inj.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Blood clots: A blood clot is a clump of blood that has changed from a liquid to a gel-like or semisolid state. Blood clots are formed to stop bleeding that occurs due to tissue injury. Though blood clots are useful to stop bleeding, they may be harmful when abnormally formed within blood vessels as they block blood vessels and inhibit blood flow to essential organs such as the brain, heart, or lungs and result in serious conditions. The common risk factors for blood clots are obesity, smoking, cancer, family history of blood clots, aged over 65 years, certain birth control pills, or pregnancy. If you experience chest pressure, sudden shortness of breath, or difficulty in breathing, speaking, or seeing, please consult a doctor immediately, as these might be symptoms of blood clots. Quick medication is advised to reduce the risk of serious conditions due to blood clots.
