Enclex 40mg Pre Filled Syringe Of 0.4ml Injection
Description
Enclex 40 is an injectable medicine containing enoxaparin, an anticoagulant (blood thinner). This medication is used to prevent and treat blood clots that can form in the body. It works by blocking certain proteins involved in the clotting process, which prevents existing clots from growing larger and stops new ones from forming. This is crucial for maintaining smooth blood flow and can help prevent serious complications like deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, and issues related to unstable angina or heart attacks.
Enclex 40 Injection is typically administered by a healthcare professional as a subcutaneous injection, usually in the hospital or clinic, and you should not attempt to inject it yourself. It's vital to discuss your complete medical history with your doctor, including any allergies, current medications, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning for surgery.
It helps reduce the risk of blockages in your blood vessels, which can lead to life-threatening events. It is often used as a precautionary measure before and after surgeries, particularly for procedures like knee or hip replacements, to minimize the risk of clot formation. Because of its specific and potent action, your doctor will prescribe an exact dosage based on your weight and medical condition. It's very important that you do not alter this dosage. While on this medicine, you should be mindful of activities that could increase your risk of bleeding or injury.
The most common side effect is bleeding, which can range from minor bruising at the injection site to more severe bleeding from the gums, nose, or internally. Other side effects can include fever, headache, nausea, diarrhoea, and changes in blood parameters. If you notice any unusual or severe bleeding, such as blood in your urine, stool, or vomit, you should contact your doctor immediately. This medication may also interact with other medications you are taking, especially other blood thinners such as aspirin or NSAIDs. Your doctor must be aware of all your medications to avoid potential interactions.
Your doctor will consider your overall health, including any issues with your kidneys or liver, before prescribing Enclex 40 Injection, as these conditions can affect how your body processes the medicine and increase the risk of side effects. It is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy, but its use must be carefully monitored by a doctor to ensure your safety and the well-being of the baby. Be sure to follow all instructions from your healthcare provider regarding administration and aftercare.
