Side Effect
Common side effects of Enoxaparin may include bleeding, bruising, pain or redness at the injection site, and low platelet counts. In some cases, serious bleeding events may occur. If you experience any unusual bleeding or signs of a severe allergic reaction, seek immediate medical attention.
How to use
The injection is administered subcutaneously (under the skin). The exact dosing instructions and duration of treatment should be prescribed by your healthcare provider.
How It works
Enoxaparin works by enhancing the activity of antithrombin III, a natural anticoagulant in the body. This leads to the inhibition of various clotting factors, primarily factor Xa and factor IIa (thrombin), which are essential for the formation of blood clots. By inhibiting these factors, Enoxaparin helps prevent the formation and growth of blood clots.
What if you forget to take?
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one.
