How Enoxaflo 20 mg/0.2 ml Injection works

Enoxaparin is a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) anticoagulant. It enhances antithrombin III activity, leading to strong inhibition of factor Xa and some inhibition of thrombin (factor IIa), thereby reducing formation and growth of blood clots.

How to take Enoxaflo 20 mg/0.2 ml Injection

For subcutaneous (under the skin) injection only unless specifically advised otherwise. Use exactly as prescribed; inject into the abdominal area, rotate injection sites, and do not rub the site after injection. Dose and duration depend on indication, body weight, kidney function, and bleeding risk.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Expert advice for Enoxaflo 20 mg/0.2 ml Injection

Carry a card or note saying which blood thinner you take. Take it at the same time every day; a missed dose leaves you less protected. Use paracetamol rather than an anti-inflammatory for ordinary aches, unless your doctor says otherwise.
