Side Effect
Common side effects of Enoxaparin may include bruising or bleeding at the injection site. Serious side effects may include bleeding, signs of low blood platelets (such as easy bruising, nosebleeds, or petechiae), and allergic reactions. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience any concerning side effects.
How to use
Enoxaparin 40mg prefilled injection is administered as a subcutaneous injection, meaning it is injected just beneath the skin.
How It works
Enoxaparin works by enhancing the activity of antithrombin III, a natural substance in the body that helps prevent blood clot formation. It inhibits certain clotting factors in the blood, particularly factor Xa and thrombin, which are involved in the clotting process. By inhibiting these factors, Enoxaparin reduces the risk of blood clot formation.
What if you forget to take?
If you miss a dose of Enoxaparin, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is close to the time of your next scheduled dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one.
