Fonaxel Injection is an anticoagulant. It stops the action of a substance (clotting factor Xa) from working in the blood. This prevents the formation of unwanted blood clots (thrombosis) in the blood vessels.

Fonaxel Injection prevents the formation of blood clots in the blood vessels of legs or lungs. It may make you feel dizzy, tired or weak. Do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how it affects you. It increases your risk of bleeding. Be careful while shaving, cutting fingernails or toenails, or using sharp objects. Notify your doctor if you see blood in your vomit, urine or stool (black, tarry stools or bright red blood). Do not discontinue use without consulting your doctor as this may increase your chances of having another heart attack or stroke.
