Frequently asked questions about Enoxaparin
Q. How do you administer Enoxaparin?
Enoxaparin is a medicine which is injected beneath the skin. Fix the dose of the medicine and pinch the skin of your stomach between your finger and thumb to make a fold. After having cleaned the area, hold the syringe like a pencil and insert the full length of the needle into the skin fold. Inject the medicine and discard the syringe as instructed by your prescribing physician. Follow the instructions given by the healthcare provider strictly. Contact your doctor in case of any doubt or any reactions associated with the medicine.
Q. What are the conditions where I should be cautious before taking Enoxaparin?
You must inform the doctor all about your previous or present medical history before you start taking Enoxaparin. Inform your doctor if you have a heart valve fitted or have gastric ulcer, high blood pressure, diabetes or kidney problems. You should also let your doctor know if you ever had a reaction to heparin or had a recent stroke, brain or spinal surgery. The chances of side effects and complications increase in the presence of these conditions. Consult with your doctor and follow the instructions strictly.

Store Enoxaparin injections at 25°C and do not freeze them. The multiple-dose vials should not be stored for more than 28 days after the first use. Discard the injection if you notice any particulate matter or abnormal color in the solution or any damage in the syringe. Read the medicine package leaflet before using this medication and ask the pharmacist in case of any doubt.
Q. Can Enoxaparin be used in heart attack?
Yes, Enoxaparin is used in the treatment of chest pain and heart attack once the standard treatment has been provided to the patient. It is given along with another blood thinner like aspirin.
