Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Thanks to their predictable pharmacokinetics and ease of use, low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) have established uses in the prevention and treatment of thrombotic diseases and as a replacement for unfractionated heparin (UFH). Although LMWHs as a class have similar antithrombotic effects, they comprise a diverse group of agents with distinct biochemical and pharmacological profiles. In light of the ongoing pressure to contain pharmacy costs, the diversity among the LMWHs and their benefits over UFH are important considerations in clinical practice.
