                            Instructions for use
Pre-filled syringe at :
- 10,000 IU = 100 mg enoxaparin sodium in 1 ml WPI
- 2,000 IU = 20 mg enoxaparin sodium in 0.2 ml WPI
- 4,000 IU = 40 mg enoxaparin sodium in 0.4 ml WPI
- 6,000 IU = 60 mg enoxaparin sodium in 0.6 ml WPI
Equivalences:
- Enoxaparin 0.2 ml (2000 UI) = Nadroparin 0.3 ml (2850 UI)
- Enoxaparin 0.4 ml (4000 UI) = Nadroparin 0.4 ml (3800 UI)
- Enoxaparin 0.6 ml (6000 UI) = Nadroparin 0.6 ml (5700 UI)
Must be given as deep SC injection:
- Administer preferably with the patient in the supine position, in the subcutaneous cellular tissue of the anterolateral and posterolateral abdominal belt, alternating between the right and left sides.
- Remove the protective cap from the needle.
- Do not expel the air bubble from the syringe.
- If a drop appears at the tip of the needle, remove the drop before injection by tapping on the body of the syringe (needle pointing downwards).
- Insert the entire length of the needle perpendicularly and not tangentially, into a skin fold gently held between the thumb and index finger. Maintain the skin fold throughout the injection.
- Do not rub the injection site after administration.
- Immediately dispose of the syringe in the appropriate container. Any unused medication should be discarded.
Monitor coagulation parameters in order to adjust dose.
Check platelet counts before starting treatment and then twice a week.
Effects may be reversed by the slow IV administration of protamine, a specific heparin antagonist.
Precautions for Use
Do not administer by IM route.
Storage
- Below 25ºC
- Do not freeze.
- Pre-filled syringes are single-dose packs. Discard any unused product.
