ANTICOAGULANT 
Tinzaparin sodium 
 
VIALS OF 2 ML 
Tinzaparin sodium 10,000 anti-Xa IU/ml, preserved with
benzyl alcohol. 
Tinzaparin sodium 20,000 anti-Xa IU/ml,
preserved with benzyl alcohol, stabilized with sodium
metabisulphite. 
 
SYRINGE OF 0.35 ML AND 0.45ML 
Tinzaparin sodium 10,000 anti-Xa IU/ml. 
 
SYRINGE OF 0.5 ML AND 0.7ML 
Tinzaparin sodium 20,000 anti-Xa IU/ml, stabilized with sodium

Not all presentations listed above are available locally. 
 
PROPERTIES 
Tinzaparin sodium is a low molecular weight heparin produced
 by enzymatic  
depolymerization of conventional heparin. 
The molecular mass is between 1,000 and 14,000 dalton, with a peak
maximum  
molecular mass of approx. 4,500 dalton. Tinzaparin sodium is an
anti-thrombotic agent. 
INNOHEP
® 
has a bioavailability of about 90% following subcutaneous
injection. The  
absorption half-life is 200 minutes, peak plasma activity being
observed after 4–6 hours. 
The elimination half-life is about 80 minutes. Tinzaparin sodium is
eliminated,  
primarily with the urine, as unchanged drug. 
 
The pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of INNOHEP
® 
are monitored by anti-Xa  
activity. There is a linear dose-response relationship between
plasma activity and the  
dose administered. 
 
The biological activity of INNOHEP
® 
is expressed in anti-Xa 
international units. 
 
INDICATIONS 
Treatment of deep-vein thrombosis. 
 
Treatment of pulmonary embolism. 
 
Prevention of postoperative deep-vein thrombosis in patients
undergoing general  
and orthopaedic surgery. 
 
Prevention of clotting in in-dwelling intravenous lines for
extracorporeal circulation 
and haemodialysis. 
 
DOSAGE 
Treatment of DVT: 
The recommended dose is 175 anti-Xa IU/kg body-weight s.c. once
daily. 
 
Treatment of pulmonary embolism: 
The recommended dose is 175 anti-Xa IU/kg body-weight s.c.once
daily.
