Exhep 60 mg Injection

Product Details

Exhep 60 mg PFS Injection

Exhep 60 mg Injection contains Enoxaparin Sodium, a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) used to prevent and treat blood clots in various medical conditions. It is commonly prescribed for preventing conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and complications associated with cardiovascular events.

Uses:

• Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Prevents and treats blood clots in veins, particularly in immobile or post-surgical patients.
• Pulmonary Embolism (PE): Manages and reduces the risk of clots traveling to the lungs.
• Heart Conditions: Reduces complications in patients with unstable angina or heart attacks.
• Surgical Support: Prevents clot formation after orthopedic or abdominal surgeries.

How Exhep 60 mg Injection Works:

Enoxaparin Sodium enhances the activity of antithrombin III, which inhibits key clotting factors, such as Factor Xa and thrombin. This action slows the clotting process, prevents new clots from forming, and reduces the size of existing ones.

Common Side Effects:

• Mild bleeding (e.g., at the injection site)
• Bruising or swelling
• Irritation or redness at the injection site
• Nausea
• Fever

Serious Side Effects (Seek Immediate Medical Attention):

• Severe or uncontrollable bleeding
• Allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing)
• Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) with symptoms like unexplained bruising or red spots
• Neurological symptoms (e.g., numbness or paralysis, particularly after spinal anesthesia)

Precautions:

• Bleeding Risk: Use caution if taking other anticoagulants or NSAIDs, as this may increase bleeding risk.
• Kidney Function: Dose adjustments may be needed for patients with kidney impairment.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor if pregnant or nursing before using Exhep 60 mg Injection.
• Spinal Procedures: Increased risk of bleeding if used with spinal or epidural anesthesia.
