Clexane injection contains the active ingredient enoxaparin, which is a type of anticoagulant medication used to prevent and treat blood clots.
Enoxaparin works by inhibiting the activity of certain clotting factors in the blood, reducing the ability of blood to clot and preventing the formation of new blood clots. It is commonly used to prevent blood clots in patients undergoing surgery, as well as those with certain medical conditions, such as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.
Clexane injection is typically administered by a healthcare provider, either as a subcutaneous injection (into the fatty tissue beneath the skin) or as an intravenous injection (into a vein). The dosage and duration of treatment may vary depending on the patient's medical condition and other factors.
It is important to note that Clexane may have side effects, including bleeding, bruising, and injection site reactions. Patients taking this medication should inform their healthcare provider if they experience any adverse reactions or have concerns about their treatment.
Additionally, patients taking Clexane should inform their healthcare provider of any other medications they are taking, as it can interact with other drugs. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking this medication, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking other medications.
