Eparin Injection contains Enoxaparin Sodium 6000 Anti-Xa IU/0.6 ml, a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) used as an anticoagulant. It helps prevent and treat blood clots in various medical conditions by reducing the formation of harmful thrombi in blood vessels.

This injection is administered subcutaneously under medical supervision and is widely used in hospital settings for both prevention and treatment of thromboembolic disorders.

Therapeutic Uses

Eparin Injection is indicated for:

• Prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after surgery
• Treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Prevention of pulmonary embolism (PE)
• Treatment of pulmonary embolism
• Acute coronary syndrome (unstable angina, NSTEMI)
• Thrombosis prevention in immobilized or high-risk patients
• Clot prevention during dialysis or certain surgical procedures

Mechanism of Action

Enoxaparin works by enhancing the activity of antithrombin III, which helps:

• Inhibit clotting factor Xa
• Reduce thrombin formation
• Prevent fibrin clot development
• Maintain smooth blood flow and reduce risk of vessel blockage

Its predictable anticoagulant effect allows safer and more consistent dosing compared to unfractionated heparin.
