Description
Introduction to Enoxaparin Sodium 60mg Injection:
Enoxaparin 60mg Injection is a low molecular weight heparin, which is an anticoagulant (blood thinner). It is used to prevent and treat harmful blood clots. Its active ingredient is enoxaparin sodium.
Enoxaparin 60mg Injection comes as a pre-filled syringe of 0.6 ml (60 mg, equal to 6000 anti-factor Xa IU) for subcutaneous (under the skin) or intravenous use. It is usually given as an injection under the skin, into the fatty tissue of the abdomen, by a doctor or nurse, and it should not be injected into a muscle. If you have been taught to inject it yourself, do not expel the air bubble from the syringe before use, and change the injection site each time. The dose and length of treatment depend on your condition, your weight, and your kidney function, and your doctor will decide them.
Bleeding, bruising, and pain at the injection site are among the most common side effects of this medicine. Tell your doctor before treatment if you have a bleeding disorder, a stomach ulcer, kidney problems, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or if you have recently had surgery, a spinal or epidural procedure, or a spinal puncture. Avoid activities that increase the risk of injury or bleeding, and do not take aspirin or other blood-thinning or anti-inflammatory medicines unless your doctor advises it. Inform your doctor immediately if you experience unusual or prolonged bleeding, black or bloody stools, severe headache, numbness or weakness in the legs, or signs of an allergic reaction.
Uses of Enoxaparin Sodium 60mg Injection:
- Prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), especially after surgery or in people with reduced mobility
- Treatment of deep vein thrombosis, with or without pulmonary embolism
- Prevention of clotting in the blood circuit during hemodialysis
- Unstable angina and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (heart attack), given together with aspirin
- Acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction
Benefits of Enoxaparin Sodium 60mg Injection:
1. Prevention and treatment of blood clots
Blood clots in the deep veins can block blood flow and can travel to the lungs, which can be life-threatening. LMWX 60 Enoxaparin 60mg Injection stops new clots from forming and stops existing clots from growing, which gives the body time to break them down naturally.
2. After surgery
After major surgery, such as hip or knee replacement, the risk of blood clots is high. LMWX 60 Enoxaparin 60mg Injection lowers this risk during the recovery period.
3. Heart conditions
In people with unstable angina or a heart attack, LMWX 60 Enoxaparin 60mg Injection helps stop clots from forming in the arteries of the heart, which helps protect the heart muscle.
4. Convenient pre-filled syringe
The ready-to-use pre-filled syringe gives an accurate dose and makes the injection easier and safer to give.
Side Effects of Enoxaparin Sodium 60mg Injection:
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you are worried about them.

Mechanism of Action of Enoxaparin Sodium 60mg Injection:
Enoxaparin 60mg Injection is an anticoagulant. Its active ingredient, enoxaparin, is a low molecular weight heparin. It binds to a natural protein in the blood called antithrombin III and greatly increases its ability to block clotting factor Xa, and to a lesser extent thrombin. This interrupts the clotting process, which prevents new clots from forming and stops existing clots from growing. This is how it works in the prevention and treatment of blood clots.
