Enclex 40 Injection

Product Overview

Enclex 40 Injection is an anticoagulant used to prevent and manage harmful blood clots. It helps stop existing clots from enlarging and prevents new clots from forming. This medicine is commonly used to reduce the risk of conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism.

The injection is administered under the skin by a healthcare professional and should not be given into a muscle. Dosage and duration depend on your medical condition, response to treatment, age, and weight. Consistent use is important, even if you do not experience symptoms, to prevent potential complications. While taking this medication, avoid activities that could increase the risk of bleeding or injury.

Uses

Benefits

Enclex 40 Injection works by blocking specific proteins involved in blood clotting, helping blood flow smoothly throughout the body. While it does not dissolve existing clots, it prevents them from growing, allowing the body to gradually break them down. This reduces the risk of complications in the lungs, brain, heart, or other blood vessels. The medicine is also used to prevent clot formation after surgeries such as hip or knee replacement.

Most side effects are mild and may resolve as the body adjusts. Contact your doctor if they persist or worsen.

Common side effects include:

Low blood platelets

Anemia (reduced red blood cells)

How to Use
