If you have blood clots or are at risk of developing them, your healthcare provider may recommend enoxaparin sodium (
Lovenox®). This prescription medication comes in the form of injections and is given once or twice daily. Bleeding, anemia, and low blood platelets are some of the possible side effects of this medicine.
It's important to review enoxaparin sodium's safety information with your healthcare provider before starting treatment. This drug may not be suitable for everyone, so make sure your healthcare provider is aware if you have any other medical conditions (such as a bleeding disorder, kidney disease, or high blood pressure) or if you are taking any other types of medicine.
