Clexane Injection contains Enoxaparin Sodium, a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) used as an anticoagulant to prevent and treat blood clots. It is commonly prescribed for deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and to prevent clot formation after surgeries or in patients with restricted mobility. Enoxaparin works by inhibiting clotting factors, ensuring smooth blood flow and reducing the risk of life-threatening thrombotic events.

• Prevents and treats deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism

• Reduces risk of blood clots during and after surgery

• Used as a part of treatment in heart attacks and unstable angina

• Convenient pre-filled syringe for accurate subcutaneous administration

Clexane Injection is administered subcutaneously (under the skin), typically in the abdomen area. It should only be given by a healthcare professional or by a patient/caregiver trained in proper injection technique. Do not inject into muscles.

• Typical dose: 60 mg once or twice daily depending on indication and patient weight

• Dose may vary in kidney-impaired patients or those with a high bleeding risk

• Follow the exact dosing schedule prescribed by your doctor

• Do not adjust the dose or stop treatment without medical advice

• Not recommended in patients with active bleeding or a history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia

• Use with caution in those with kidney impairment, bleeding disorders, or undergoing spinal procedures

• Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other anticoagulants

• Regular blood tests may be required to monitor clotting function and platelet levels

• Common side effects may include:

• Mild pain, redness, or bruising at the injection site

• Bleeding or bruising more easily than normal

• Seek immediate medical help if you notice unusual bleeding, black/tarry stools, or signs of a blood clot (e.g., leg swelling, chest pain).

• Low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia)
  Serious but rare side effects:

• Severe bleeding

• Allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing)

• Spinal/epidural hematomas in patients undergoing spinal procedures
