Low-Dose Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin for Thromboprophylaxis During Pregnancy

Abstract

According to this study: In women who have a history of venous thromboembolism, weight-adjusted intermediate-dose low-molecular-weight heparin during the combined antepartum and postpartum periods didn't reduce the risk of recurrence compared with fixed low-dose low-molecular-weight heparin.Further study is needed to determine whether intermediate-dose low-molecular-weight heparin may be more effective than low-dose low-molecular-weight heparin during the postpartum period.
