One ampoule (0.6mL) contains 750 amidolytic anti-factor Xa units danaparoid sodium and corresponding to 1250 anti-factor Xa units per mL. The anti-Xa unit is derived from the international heparin standard in an antithrombin containing buffer system.

Danaparoid sodium has been shown both in animal models and in human studies to be an effective antithrombotic substance. At therapeutic doses danaparoid sodium has no or only a minor effect on haemostatic plug formation, platelet function and platelet aggregability with no significant effect on bleeding time at the recommended doses.
