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.
