Cutenox G 300 mg Injection Cartridge

Cutenox G 300 mg Injection contains Enoxaparin Sodium, a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) used as an anticoagulant. It helps prevent and treat blood clots, reducing the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and complications in patients with certain heart conditions.

Uses:

• Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Prevention and treatment of blood clots in veins.
• Pulmonary Embolism (PE): Prevention and management of clots in the lungs.
• Heart Conditions: Used to manage unstable angina and prevent complications during or after heart attacks.
• Post-Surgery Clot Prevention: Reduces the risk of clots in bedridden patients or after surgeries.

How Cutenox G 300 mg Injection Works:

Enoxaparin Sodium enhances the activity of antithrombin III, which inhibits clotting factors in the blood, particularly Factor Xa and thrombin. This action prevents the formation and growth of blood clots.

Common Side Effects:

• Bruising at the injection site
• Bleeding (nosebleeds, gum bleeding)
• Nausea
• Fever
• Swelling or redness at the injection site

Serious Side Effects (Seek Immediate Medical Attention):

• Severe bleeding that doesn’t stop
• Allergic reactions (rash, itching, difficulty breathing)
• Low platelet count (symptoms: unusual bruising, red/purple spots under the skin)
• Severe headache or vision problems (possible signs of a blood clot in the brain)

Precautions:

• Bleeding Risk: Monitor for signs of excessive bleeding, especially if using other blood thinners.
• Kidney Function: Dose adjustment may be needed in patients with kidney impairment.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult a doctor before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Avoid activities that may increase the risk of bleeding or injury during treatment.
