Enoxaparin sodium is a low molecular weight heparin marketed under the trade names Lovenox, Xaparin and Clexane, among others.

Off-Label Use of Lovenox During Pregnancy. In many cases, Lovenox is used off-label (for unapproved uses) in pregnant women. For instance, it is commonly used to treat clotting disorders such as Factor V Leiden in pregnant women. Lovenox is also frequently used to prevent miscarriages in women with recurrent pregnancy loss, whether or not they have an established clotting disorder. It is possible that Lovenox may someday be approved for such uses, although the cost of doing studies in pregnant women is often prohibitive.
