EXPERIMENTAL

Women requiring therapeutic anticoagulation, singleton pregnancy,\<30weeks

Drug: Tinzaparin

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 45 Years
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Singleton pregnancies in women over the age of 18 requiring anticoagulation for acute VTE (DVT/PE), or high-risk prophylaxis at a tinzaparin dose of 175 IU/kg.
  • High-risk patients include those with multiple (two or more) episodes of VTE and/or women receiving long-term anticoagulants (e.g. single event with known thrombophilia; APLAs and history of venous thrombosis)

You may not qualify if:

  • Multiple gestation\\
  • Prosthetic valves
  • Active bleeding or other contraindication to anticoagulation therapy
  • Allergy to heparin, bisulfites, or fish, history of HIT (heparin induced thrombocytopenia), severe hypertension (diastolic \>130)
  • Severe hepatic or renal failure
  • Patients over 100kg.
