Parnaparin is a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) used for prophylaxis and treatment of deep vein thrombosis and other thromboembolic disorders. LMWHs like parnaparin act by potentiating the activity of antithrombin III, inhibiting clotting factor Xa. Parnaparin is not widely used today and is not as commonly available or approved in major markets as other LMWHs such as enoxaparin.
Estimated pharmacokinetic parameters in adult patients; no published human PK model data found for parnaparin. The values presented are analogical to other subcutaneously administered LMWHs.
