Lonopin 40mg Pre Filled Syringe
Description
Lonopin 40 mg injection is an anticoagulant medication, commonly referred to as a blood thinner. It is used to prevent and treat the formation of blood clots in the blood vessels. Blood clots can be dangerous as they may block circulation and lead to serious problems like stroke, heart attack, or clots in the lungs. Doctors often prescribe Lonopin during and after orthopaedic surgeries, for patients undergoing dialysis, and for those with certain heart conditions where clot prevention is essential.
The active ingredient in Lonopin injection is enoxaparin, which helps prevent blood from clotting too quickly. This ensures smooth blood flow and reduces the risk of life-threatening complications related to blood clots.
Before starting Lonopin, it is very important to inform your doctor if you are scheduled for surgery, especially spinal or epidural anaesthesia. This medicine may rarely cause clots in or around the spinal cord, which can lead to paralysis. Your doctor will take necessary precautions to avoid such risks.
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, you must inform your doctor before using Lonopin injection. Also, please share details of all other medications, supplements, or herbal products you are taking, as some combinations may increase the risk of bleeding or interfere with treatment.
Always take Lonopin 40 mg injection exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop treatment or change the dose on your own. Following your doctor’s advice carefully will help ensure the medicine works safely and effectively, protecting you from harmful blood clots.
