FONDAPARINUX

[Laurieca]

Greetings, I have been cleared for a hip surgery , after testing positive twice for aps antibody, but I remain asymptomatic. The last surgery I had, I used fondaparinux as I am opposed to animal products when I can reasonably avoid them. I live in a different part of the country now, where this mind set is not as common, and there is a lot of head scratching with the doctors on this request. Has anyone used this medication?

yes, at 75 strength. I did not do well with it- but we are all different. It must be on a case by case basis as we are all different.

All the best for your upcoming surgery
