Enoxaparin 300mg/3mL Injection

Product Introduction

Enoxaparin 300mg is a low-molecular-weight heparin anticoagulant used to prevent or treat harmful blood clots. It may be prescribed for deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, clot prevention after surgery or during reduced mobility, and selected acute coronary syndrome regimens. Enoxaparin reduces clotting activity by enhancing antithrombin action, especially against factor Xa.

How to use

Enoxaparin 300mg is given exactly as prescribed, usually as a subcutaneous injection. Do not rub the injection site after dosing. Rotate sites and follow training if home administration is approved. Keep lab and follow-up appointments.

How it works

Enoxaparin binds antithrombin and increases inhibition of clotting factor Xa, with some effect on thrombin. This reduces the blood's ability to form or extend clots.

Common side effects

Possible effects include injection-site bruising, bleeding, anemia, nausea, fever, swelling, and raised liver enzymes. Serious warning signs include unusual bleeding, black stools, blood in urine, severe headache, weakness, back pain after spinal procedures, allergic reaction, low platelets, or skin necrosis.

Important information

Tell the clinician about bleeding disorders, ulcers, recent surgery, stroke, kidney disease, spinal/epidural anesthesia, heparin allergy, HIT history, pregnancy, breastfeeding, low body weight, older age, and use of NSAIDs, aspirin, antiplatelets, or anticoagulants.
