Clexane 20 Mg 2 Syringe

Clexane 20 Mg 2 Syringe

Description:

Clexane 20 mg is a prescription anticoagulant medicine containing enoxaparin sodium, a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). It is supplied as prefilled syringes for subcutaneous injection and is used to prevent and treat blood clots (thromboembolic disorders) in adults. Clexane helps reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, and clot formation in high‑risk medical and surgical patients by thinning the blood and preventing harmful clots from forming or growing. This product is intended for use under medical supervision only.

Indications:

• Prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), especially in patients undergoing surgery or those at high risk of clot formation.
• Prevention of thromboembolic complications in bedridden or acutely ill medical patients at risk of venous thromboembolism (as per physician’s prescription).
• Adjunctive anticoagulant therapy in conditions where low molecular weight heparin is indicated, as determined by a healthcare professional.
• Reduction of risk of clot-related complications such as pulmonary embolism associated with DVT.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Enoxaparin sodium – 20 mg per prefilled syringe (exact concentration in mg/ml for this specific 20 mg presentation is not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.)).
• Other excipients: The full list of inactive ingredients (excipients) is not available in the provided data. Please refer to the official package leaflet for complete composition.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use only as prescribed by a physician experienced in anticoagulant therapy.
• Typical route of administration: subcutaneous injection (under the skin), usually in the abdominal area, alternating injection sites as instructed by a healthcare professional.
• Recommended dose, frequency, and duration depend on the indication (e.g., surgical prophylaxis, medical prophylaxis) and patient factors such as body weight, kidney function, and bleeding risk. The exact dosing regimen must be determined by the doctor.
• Do not inject intramuscularly.
• Before injection, wash hands and clean the injection site with an antiseptic swab if instructed.
• Remove the needle cap, gently pinch a fold of skin, insert the needle at a 90° or 45° angle (as taught by your healthcare provider), and inject the full contents of the prefilled syringe slowly.
• Do not expel the air bubble from the prefilled syringe before injection unless specifically instructed by your doctor or nurse.
• Do not rub the injection site after administration to reduce the risk of bruising.
• If you miss a dose, contact your doctor immediately for advice. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed injection.
• Use in children, elderly patients, or those with kidney or liver impairment should be strictly under medical supervision with adjusted dosing if required.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps prevent formation of dangerous blood clots in veins, especially after surgery or during periods of prolonged immobility.
• Reduces the risk of deep vein thrombosis and subsequent pulmonary embolism, supporting cardiovascular and circulatory health.
• Provides predictable anticoagulant effect with low molecular weight heparin, allowing more stable blood thinning compared with some unfractionated heparins.
• Prefilled syringe format supports accurate dosing and convenient administration in hospital or at home under medical guidance.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to enoxaparin sodium, other low molecular weight heparins, heparin, or any component of the formulation.
• Contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled active bleeding or conditions with a high risk of major bleeding.
• Contraindicated in patients with a known allergy to pork products, as enoxaparin is derived from porcine sources.
• Use with extreme caution in patients with bleeding disorders, recent hemorrhagic stroke, severe uncontrolled hypertension, active peptic ulcer, diabetic retinopathy, or recent surgery involving the brain, spine, or eyes.
• Monitor closely in patients with kidney impairment, liver disease, low body weight, elderly patients, or those receiving other medicines that affect blood clotting (e.g., aspirin, NSAIDs, warfarin, other anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents).
• Spinal/epidural anesthesia or puncture in patients receiving enoxaparin may increase the risk of spinal/epidural hematoma, which can result in long-term or permanent paralysis. Careful timing of doses and monitoring are required.
• Inform your doctor about all medicines, supplements, or herbal products you are taking to avoid interactions that may increase bleeding risk.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or nursing. Enoxaparin may be used in pregnancy only if clearly needed and under specialist supervision.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without a doctor’s prescription and supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects: Injection site reactions such as pain, redness, bruising, or mild swelling; mild bleeding or easy bruising; small hematomas at injection site.
• Less common side effects: Nosebleeds, bleeding gums, heavier than normal menstrual bleeding, blood in urine or stool, or prolonged bleeding from cuts.
• Serious side effects (seek immediate medical attention): Signs of severe bleeding (vomiting blood, black or tarry stools, coughing up blood, severe unexplained bruising), sudden severe headache, vision changes, weakness or numbness, chest pain, shortness of breath, or signs of spinal/epidural hematoma (back pain, tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness in lower limbs, loss of bladder or bowel control).
• Rarely, thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) and allergic reactions including rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing may occur. Stop treatment and contact your doctor immediately if these appear.
