==Adverse Reactions==
 
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse event rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
 
====6.1 Adverse Events in Patients with HIT (With or Without Thrombosis)====
 
The following safety information is based on all 568 patients treated with argatroban in Study 1 and Study 2. The safety profile of the patients from these studies is compared with that of 193 historical controls in which the adverse events were collected retrospectively. Adverse events are separated into hemorrhagic and non-hemorrhagic events.
 
Major bleeding was defined as bleeding that was overt and associated with a hemoglobin decrease ≥2 g/dL, that led to a transfusion of ≥2 units, or that was intracranial, retroperitoneal, or into a major prosthetic joint. Minor bleeding was overt bleeding that did not meet the criteria for major bleeding.
 
Table 4 gives an overview of the most frequently observed hemorrhagic events, presented separately by major and minor bleeding, sorted by decreasing occurrence among argatroban-treated patients with HIT (with or without thrombosis).<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = ARGATROBAN INJECTION, SOLUTION [GLAXOSMITHKLINE LLC] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=9c9616c0-a299-4fd5-c8ae-79e6db453595 | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = }}</ref>
