Active ingredient

Reviparin is a low molecular weight heparin and in clinical terms its action on blood coagulation is the most important biological effect. Reviparin is involved in different phases of blood coagulation. Because of its marked inhibitory action on factor Xa and comparatively low level of anti IIa activity, low molecular weight heparin is at its most active during the preliminary stages of coagulation.
