enoxaparin

Enoxaparin is a medication that helps prevent blood clots from forming or growing larger. It is a type of blood thinner called low molecular weight heparin. Doctors often prescribe it for patients at risk of blood clots after surgery, during certain illnesses, or when immobilized, such as after a long travel or bed rest. Enoxaparin works by reducing the blood’s ability to clot, lowering the risk of dangerous conditions like deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. It is usually given through injections, and its use is carefully monitored by healthcare providers to ensure safety and effectiveness.
