Enoxaparin

Therapeutic Group

Enoxaparin is a medication used to prevent blood clots in people who are at risk of developing them. It's commonly prescribed to:

Prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): If you're going to have surgery, especially hip or knee replacement, or if you're bedridden due to illness, enoxaparin can help prevent dangerous blood clots in your legs.
Prevent Pulmonary Embolism (PE): Enoxaparin is also used to reduce the risk of blood clots traveling to your lungs, which can be life-threatening.
Manage Certain Heart Conditions: In some cases, enoxaparin is used to manage certain types of heart conditions, like unstable angina and non-Q-wave myocardial infarctions.
