    Patients Concern

    Disease/Condition Glossary

    Deep vein thrombosis (DVT): Deep vein thrombosis is a condition which occurs when a blood clot is formed in deep veins, generally in the legs. This may happen if a vein is damaged or the blood flow stops or slows down. Symptoms of DVT include swelling, pain, tenderness, distended veins, red or discoloured skin, or thickening/firmness of veins. However, most patients experience no symptoms.

    FAQs

    In rare cases, Parnaparin may cause thrombocytopenia (low platelet count). Inform the doctor if you have a medical history of thrombocytopenia with Parnaparin.
