LOVENOX (PRESERVATIVE FREE)  (ENOXAPARIN SODIUM):  Enoxaparin is used to prevent and treat harmful blood clots. This helps to reduce the risk of a stroke or heart attack. This medication helps keep your blood flowing smoothly by lowering the activity of clotting proteins in the blood. Enoxaparin is an anticoagulant, also known as a "blood thinner." It is a type of heparin. Conditions which increase your risk of developing blood clots include certain types of surgeries (such as knee/hip replacement, abdominal), long periods of being immobile, certain types of heart attack, and a specific type of chest pain called unstable angina. For some medical conditions, enoxaparin may be used in combination with other "blood thinners."   FDA Approval Date: 2000-06-02 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  My mom was taking it aft knee repla My mother had Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia AND Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis after 10 doses of Lovenox! She almost died. Only 10 reported cases of this in American Medical Journals-only one to a replacement patient-hip-69 years old and she died! My mother is the only living knee replacement patient to have survived it! She has been on Arixtra for 4 months. Even though it is rare-people are allergic to Lovenox/Heparin and if they are it most often is fatal! Watch for headaches, nausea, vomiting after you start taking it!!! 10 days

 1  Large Pulmonary Saddle Embolism Massive hematoma on belly, covering left to right side and 6" wide. Extreme nausea, headaches, dizziness, stomach aches. After 4 months I am still, daily, effected by this medication with severe stomach upsets. Nobody in the hospital asked me how I react to medicines, was never given any options. Nobody noticed how sick Lovenox was making me. The pharmaceutical company should have a law suit filed against them. F 8 days

 4  Factor V Leiden, PE right lung tiny bruises around injection site, constant diarrhea, HEADACHES that seem to never go away, burning/stinging after medicine is injected, hot/cold flashes, an itch as the medicine moves through my body, mood swings, fatigue, skin is very sensitive. i went to the ER complaining of chest pains and difficulty breathing. once tested (xray, ekg, cat scan) they diagnosed me with a pulmonary embolism. they assured me it was treatable and that we had caught it in time. they told me if i had waited 2 more days, i would have died. at 17, thats a scary thought. so i have been on lovenox shots for almost 1 month and i do not enjoy the injections, but i dont really mind them. they are tiny needles and dont really cause that much pain.

 4  DVT and bilateral PE Slight bruising at injection site I had an allergic reaction to coumadin and taking Lovenox is my only option for right now until other drugs are approved for use in DVT cases.

 5  Antiphospholipid Syndrome Brusing, nose bleeds, headaches, pain at injection site, nausea, decreased bone density, I take this medication twice a day everyday and have been for a little over 2 years.. At times it can be very painful but it has saved my life!! I couldn't remain theraputic with coumadin and continued to get clots.. so this was a last resort!! It's the only medication that has kept my disease from progressing.. F 21 2 years

 4  DVT/ PE/ Rare Blood Disorder I dont feel anything like myself, low energy, Axienty, cant sleep at night(dont go to bed till about 1 a.m.), sore stomach, the injections hurt because of how thick the liquid is, when you clean the area with the alcohol let the area dry first before injecting, it wont hurt as much. I am also on Coumadin taking 15mg a day regardless of if I have to give myself shots Because i have a rare blood disorder (less then 1% of the population have it) i am required to have my INR tested twice a week right now, when its where it should be i dont have to give myself shots, but i find the side effects are more apparent, i have only been off them for a day so far, next week i go back to get my blood tested to see if my INR is still where it should be if not i have to take shots, Im taking Coumadin as well and it seems that when im not on the shots the symptoms are worse. I am a Lifer of these two drugs, something im going to look into is a Homeopathy item called ARNICA MOTANA, its made from a plant and when taken oraly it CAN help with blood clots and work with Coumadin, im going to take what i found to my Doctor and get his take on it. Who knows if it will help but what the hell right? M 21 3 weeks

 4  Factor V Leiden, PE, 3 CVTs Very few bruises but when I do bruise they are very large, a few hard bumps, loose stool, overall weakness/fatigue, burning. To lessen the burn I inject lovenox VERY slowly (if you don't have steady hands don't try it). Sometimes the syringes aren't sharp enough and the skin is hard to puncture. My doctors did not warn me of any of the side effects prior to me starting lovenox, they just said some people have very strong reactions and some people have little to no reactions while on lovenox and never said what possible reactions were. I was taking warfarin but never had a stable INR and developed a PE when my INR was 4.0 so I will most likely be a lovenox lifer. Compared to coumadin/warfarin I prefer lovenox because it does not have the numerous drug interactions, its pregnancy safe and doesn't require as much monitoring. Lovenox can be a much stronger anticoagulant than coumadin and isn't easily reversed if your blood is too thin (i.e You can't just take vitamin K or be given FFP like you can with coumadin if your too thin) . When taking ANY anticoag WATCH FOR SIGNS OF INTERNAL BLEEDING!!! ( Bloody urine, tarry/black stool, vomiting blood, etc.) Anyone wanting to talk PLEASE CONTACT ME. I'm heterozygous for FVL, have another blood clotting related antibody affecting me (they haven't figure out what yet), I've had a PE in my lower right lobe, 3 CVTs (superior sagittal sinus, transverse sinus and sigmoid sinus). Coumadin failed after 8 months and I'm now on lovenox. Please contact me if you want to talk, not only F 21 8 months

 4  Blood clots The first week I felt very dizzy and I got headaches. I felt weak. Now, I`m okay, just a slight sting after the injection and bruising on the stomach. I hate putting this stuff into my body, before this I was on cumadine and that was no better. Wish everyone good life and strong health who has to take this drug. It`s not easy. Hang in there:) F 21 1 months

 3  Multiple DVT/PE reaccurance Bruising on stomach. Knots and build up of medicine that eventually went away. Nausea after taking the shot. I am taking lovenox the rest of my life. It may not be ideal but when I was taking warfarin I lost my memory, hair, and I had a hard time forming sentences. I'd rather take lovenox than be on rat poison. F 21 5 weeks

 4  DVT/Factor V, Protein C/S defiency Very sore stomach, huge bruises around injection site. But I guess that is worth it when compared to the alternative (another DVT) F 22 14 days

 3  Pregnancy Low energy, extremely awful sinus congestion-my nasal passages have been swollen since I started treatment, along with nose constantly running-can't breath through nose at all(I've never had a cold this bad before), always tired since taking, mild to painful headaches, don't feel well for a while after taking, rapid heartbeat and anxiety shortly after taking, very light brusing to none at injection site-painful to touch the next day sometimes though and sometimes not. Freezing a washcloth and holding to site before giving shot and after helps with pain and brusing. I lost a baby in the past at full term, they think being due to a gene mutation with my blood clotting. So to be careful I don't lose this one they have put me on Lovenox 40mg everyday, on top of a baby asprin of 81mg a day, 3 doses of calcium and vitamin d a day, and my prenatal vitamins. The shot doesn't hurt going in just the medicine hurts-like a bee sting-going in. Sometimes I have no brusing and sometimes only light brusing, sometimes it never hurts to touch the area the day after and other times it does. This is my third pregnancy and it has been the best pregnancy I have ever had-I always felt great and wonderful. After starting these shots though I feel tired, no energy, mild to painful headaches, don't feel well for hours after taking shot, rapid heartbeat after taking shot, anxiety after taking shot, but worst of all my nasal passages are swollen and blocking so I can't breath at all-on top of my nose constantly running-severe mucus. I could handle all these side effects and F 22 5 days
