Clexane 80 Mg 2 Syringe

Clexane 80 Mg 2 Syringe

Description:

Clexane 80 mg/0.8 ml is a prescription anticoagulant medicine containing enoxaparin sodium, a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). It is supplied as 2 prefilled syringes for subcutaneous injection and is used to prevent and treat blood clots (thromboembolism) in various medical conditions. Clexane helps reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and clot-related complications in patients at risk, such as those undergoing surgery, immobilized, or with certain heart conditions. This product is intended for use under medical supervision only.

Indications:

• Prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), especially in patients undergoing orthopedic or general surgery, or in bedridden/immobilized patients at risk of venous thromboembolism.
• Treatment of existing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) with or without pulmonary embolism (PE), as prescribed by a physician.
• Prevention of thromboembolic complications in patients with acute medical conditions at high risk of clot formation (e.g., acute heart failure, severe infection, respiratory failure), as directed by a doctor.
• Prevention of clot formation in certain cardiovascular conditions (e.g., unstable angina, non–Q-wave myocardial infarction) when used in combination with other therapies, according to physician guidance.
• Reduction of the risk of harmful blood clots in patients where a low molecular weight heparin anticoagulant is indicated.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Enoxaparin sodium – 80 mg per 0.8 ml prefilled syringe (low molecular weight heparin anticoagulant).
• Other excipients: full list of inactive ingredients is not available in the provided information; please refer to the official package leaflet for complete composition.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Clexane 80 mg/0.8 ml is administered by subcutaneous injection, usually into the fatty tissue of the abdomen or thigh. Do not inject intramuscularly.
• The exact dose, frequency, and duration of treatment are determined by the prescribing physician based on body weight, indication (prevention or treatment of thrombosis), kidney function, and overall clinical condition.
• Typical dosing regimens may include once-daily or twice-daily injections; however, you must strictly follow your doctor’s instructions and the dosing schedule on your prescription.
• If self-injection is prescribed, your healthcare provider or nurse will demonstrate the correct injection technique, including site rotation, needle handling, and safe disposal of used syringes.
• Do not expel the air bubble from the prefilled syringe before injection unless specifically instructed by your healthcare professional.
• Do not adjust the dose, stop, or restart Clexane without medical advice, as abrupt changes can increase the risk of clotting or bleeding.
• If you miss a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for instructions. Do not double the next dose to make up for a missed one unless directed by your physician.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) in at-risk patients, such as those after surgery or prolonged immobilization.
• Provides effective anticoagulation by inhibiting clot formation through its action as a low molecular weight heparin on antithrombin III and thrombin.
• Reduces the risk of serious complications related to blood clots, including stroke, heart attack, and life-threatening pulmonary embolism, when used as indicated.
• Offers predictable anticoagulant effect with fixed dosing regimens in many patients, reducing the need for frequent laboratory monitoring compared with unfractionated heparin (as clinically appropriate).

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 history of allergy to pork products, as enoxaparin is derived from porcine sources.
• Use with extreme caution in patients with kidney (renal) impairment, liver disease, bleeding disorders, low platelet count (thrombocytopenia), history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), recent surgery to the brain, spine, or eyes, or uncontrolled hypertension.
• Inform your doctor about all medicines you are taking, especially other anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents (such as aspirin, clopidogrel), NSAIDs, or herbal products that may increase bleeding risk.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Your doctor will assess the benefit–risk balance and adjust dosing if necessary.
• Patients with spinal or epidural anesthesia or spinal puncture are at increased risk of spinal/epidural hematoma, which can result in long-term or permanent paralysis. Inform your doctor and anesthetist if you are using Clexane.
• Regular medical follow-up and, when indicated, blood tests (including platelet counts and kidney function) may be required during treatment.
• 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 (pain, redness, bruising, mild swelling), mild bleeding such as nosebleeds, bleeding gums, or easy bruising.
• Less common but serious side effects: severe bleeding (unusual or prolonged bleeding, blood in urine or stool, vomiting blood, black/tarry stools), sudden severe headache, dizziness, weakness, or signs of stroke or internal bleeding.
• Possible decrease in platelet count (thrombocytopenia), including heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), which may present with new or worsening blood clots; immediate medical evaluation is required.
• Allergic reactions: rash, itching, swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing. Stop using the product and seek emergency medical help if these occur.
• Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any unusual bleeding, severe pain, shortness of breath, chest pain, or any symptom that worries you while using Clexane.
