Abstract

Abstract A new anti-thromboticum based on a mixture of oligo- and polysaccharides is provided. The invention also relates to methods for preparation thereof and to pharmaceutical compositions including the said anti-thromboticum. The new product is of natural origin and can be obtained from mammal tissue, particularly intestinal mucous. The product is useful because of its high "benefit/risk" ratio (i.e. the ratio between the anti-thrombotic activity and the haemorrhagic activity).
