Hi
The drug fondaparinux is anticoagulant used to treat Deep vein thrombosis,pulmonary embolism ,to prevent blood clots.Side effects include thrombocytopenia,bleeding complications,hematoma,purpura etc.
So the bruise you got may be due to the drug .You consult your attending doctor He may order some tests like prothrombin time etc and depending on them he may modify the treatment.
Hope this answers your query and if you have any further doubts you feel free to ask us
