Exhep-40 Injection
Description
Exhep 40 Injection is a blood-thinning medicine that contains enoxaparin as its active ingredient. This medicine is primarily prescribed to prevent and treat the formation of harmful blood clots within your body's blood vessels. It is useful for people suffering from angina, which is chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart, as it helps prevent blockages that can lead to a heart attack. It plays a vital role in preventing conditions like Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), which is the formation of blood clots in the deeper veins, often in the legs, and Pulmonary Embolism (PE), where a clot travels to the lungs.
The way Exhep 40 Injection works is by acting as an anticoagulant, a substance that prevents blood from clotting too quickly or excessively. Enoxaparin enhances the action of a natural body protein called antithrombin, which effectively inactivates certain proteins responsible for blood clotting, such as Factor Xa. Blocking these clotting factors prevents new clots from forming and stops existing ones from growing larger, thereby ensuring your blood flows smoothly throughout your body. This preventive action is especially important for people at high risk, such as those with certain medical conditions or those who have recently undergone surgeries like hip or knee replacement.
This medicine is administered to you as an injection, either under the skin (subcutaneously) or into a vein (intravenously), by your doctor or nurse in a clinical setting. The specific dose and total duration of your treatment will be carefully determined by your healthcare provider after a thorough assessment of your individual health condition, including the condition being treated, your age, and weight. It is crucial that you follow all instructions given by your doctor or nurse for the procedure and aftercare. You must never attempt to adjust your dose or stop the medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor.
Before starting treatment with Exhep 40 Injection, you must inform your doctor about your complete medical history. You should mention if you have any existing conditions such as diabetes, liver or kidney problems, high blood pressure, or a recent history of a stroke or a blood-related disease. It is also important to disclose all other medicines, supplements, or herbal preparations you are currently taking, as combining Exhep 40 Injection with other blood thinners or certain pain-relieving medicines (NSAIDs) can significantly increase your risk of bleeding. If you experience severe bleeding from your gums, nose, or anus, or if you feel unusually dizzy after the injection, you must inform your doctor immediately.
