RESUMEN
Las distintas heparinas de bajo peso molecular (HBPM) disponibles en terapéutica tienen un mecanismo de acción similar al de la heparina no fraccionada (HNF) pero con ventajas en el perfl farmacocinético. Diversos estudios han demostrado que las HBPM poseen una efcacia equivalente a la HNF para diversas indicaciones de uso, incluyendo prevención y tratamiento del tromboembolismo venoso, manejo del síndrome coronario agudo e infarto de miocardio. Algunas reacciones adversas como las complicaciones hemorrágicas y la trombocitopenia son menos frecuentes con las HBPM. Además, han mostrado tener una buena relación coste-efectividad en distintos escenarios clínicos. Es razonable asumir que no existen grandes diferencias en eficacia y seguridad entre las distintas HBPM.
ABSTRACT
The various low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) available for therapeutic use have mechanisms of action which are similar to the mechanisms of unfractionated heparin (UH) but with pharmacokinetic advantages. Various studies showed that LMWHs have equivalent effcacy when compared with UH, in a variety of settings, including prophylaxis and treatment of VTE disease, and management of acute coronary syndrome and myocardial infarction. Adverse drug reactions as hemorrhagic complications and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia are less frequent with LMWHs. Moreover, LMWHs have a good cost-effectiveness in the clinical scenarios. It is reasonable to assume that there would not be large differences in effcacy and safety among different LMWHs.
