I've just been prescribed Fragmin 2500/0.2 Inj, 0.2ml for preventing blood clots after my recent knee surgery. I'm a bit nervous about the side effects, especially the rare but serious ones. Has anyone else used this medication? I'd love to hear about your experiences, any tips for managing side effects, or anything I should be particularly aware of.

Has anyone else noticed swelling around the injection site? It's a bit scary.

Did your doctor mention any alternative meds? I had a similar experience with Fragmin and switched to another anticoagulant that worked better for me.

Any tips for dealing with the burning sensation at the injection site? It's really uncomfortable.

I was on Fragmin for a few weeks after my hip replacement. The injection site irritation was annoying, but manageable. Just make sure to rotate injection sites.

I'm on Fragmin now for a blood clot issue and it's been manageable. Just keep a close eye on any signs of bleeding and report anything unusual to your doc.

I heard that Fragmin is sometimes used for specific heart problems. Does anyone have experience with that?
