Abstract:
Thromboembolic diseases are one of the main cause of mortality. Heparin fractions obtained by chemical or enzymatical depolymerization of unfractionated heparin are now widely used in the prevention of those illness. However, curative dosages have bad side effects which could be avoid by the potentiation of the antithrombotic efficacy of non-active dosages. A previous study (4) has shown that a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAI) drug like Phenylbutazone could favour the antithrombotic efficacy of Fraxiparine at a very low dose. The aim of this study was then to determine if other NSAI elements could present the same or better proactive effects.
