Enoparin Injection 4000 Anti-Xa IU/0.4 ml contains Enoxaparin Sodium, a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) used as an anticoagulant to prevent and treat blood clot formation. It helps reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and other thromboembolic complications by inhibiting key clotting factors in the blood. This lower-strength formulation is commonly used for prophylactic (preventive) therapy in at-risk patients under medical supervision.

Composition
Each prefilled syringe (0.4 ml) contains:
-
Enoxaparin Sodium 4000 Anti-Xa IU
This provides a predictable and controlled anticoagulant effect suitable for preventive use.
Indications
Enoparin Injection is indicated for:
-
Prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in surgical patients
-
Prevention of DVT in immobilized or hospitalized medical patients
-
Prevention of pulmonary embolism (PE)
-
Thromboprophylaxis in high-risk conditions
-
Adjunct management in acute coronary syndrome (as advised by physician)
It is used only under hospital or clinical supervision.
Pharmacological Action
Enoxaparin acts by enhancing the activity of antithrombin III:
-
Primarily inhibits Factor Xa, reducing clot formation
-
Minimally inhibits Factor IIa (thrombin)
-
Prevents conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin
-
Provides consistent anticoagulant response with reduced monitoring compared to unfractionated heparin
This mechanism helps prevent the development and progression of harmful blood clots.
