Description
Indications
Enoxaparin is a medication used to prevent and treat blood clots that can be harmful, reducing the risk of stroke or heart attack. This medication works by decreasing the activity of clotting proteins in the blood, thereby helping to maintain smooth blood flow. Enoxaparin is classified as an anticoagulant, or “blood thinner,” and is a type of heparin. For some conditions, enoxaparin may be used in combination with other anticoagulants.
Uses and Dosage
Enoxaparin is administered through subcutaneous injection using a syringe. Typically, it is given twice daily for a period of 10-14 days, starting in the hospital.
Follow the directions on your prescription label and do not alter your dosage or frequency of use unless directed to do so by your doctor. Continue using enoxaparin even if you feel well, and to not stop taking it without consulting your doctor.
Your healthcare provider will instruct you on how to administer the injection yourself or make arrangements for someone else to do so. The stomach area is typically used for injection, with a different site used each time.
Each syringe contains enough medication for a single injection, and needles and syringes should be discarded as directed by your doctor or pharmacist to prevent accidental injury. Be sure to keep them out of reach of children.
To administer the injection, follow these steps:
- Thoroughly wash your hands and clean the area of skin where you will be giving the injection.
- Examine the syringe and confirm that the medication is clear and colorless or pale yellow.
- Remove the needle cap.
- Unless instructed otherwise by your healthcare provider, do not expel any air or medication from the syringe before administering the injection.
- Lie down and use your fingers to pinch a fold of skin between your thumb and forefinger.
- Gently insert the entire needle into the skin, and then depress the syringe plunger to administer the medication.
- Hold the skin firmly throughout the injection, and avoid rubbing the injection site afterward.
Side Effects
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention:
- hardening of skin or lump at injection site
- hair loss
- pain or redness and bruising at site of injection
- upset stomach
Inform your healthcare provider immediately if you experience any serious side effects:
- abdominal pain
- bleeding from a surgical wound
- bone pain or fractures (bone thinning when used for more than 3 months)
- chest pain
- confusion
