Enoxaparin sodium is a low molecular weight heparin marketed under the trade names Lovenox, Xaparin and Clexane, among others. It is an anticoagulant used to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or to treat acute deep vein thrombosis with or without pulmonary embolism (PE). It is given as an injection just under the skin or intravenously. Its use is evolving in acute coronary syndromes (ACS).
Your recommended dose of Lovenox will depend on your body weight, health condition, and other factors such as your kidney function. For instance, if you are taking Lovenox to prevent blood clots after a heart attack, the dose is often 1 milligram for every 2.2 pounds of body weight every 12 hours for two to eight days.
