| 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 1X day | 7/12/2012 | 1 | Broken Leg | It sting and had lumps in my stomach.Now im suffering from extreme anxiety, depression , mild headaches, dizziness, nasuea ...everything and the only med tht could have done this was lovenox the shots ..My stomach burns and is jittery and i have been off them now for about 11 days | 40 | 20 days 30mg | 4/9/2020 | 5 | DVT in right leg | Mild bruising at injection sites; burning sensation after injection; lethargic; lack of normal appetite; muscular throbbing/aching in chest and back | I have had two DVTs in the past two years. Currently on coumadin, which I love. No side effects. During my second DVT I was on Lovenox for almost 8 weeks and felt horrible. I am looking to get pregnant in the next year and fearful of the side effects from lovenox again. My dr. recommended Fragmin could be an alternative, but I can't find much about this drug and if it will cause the same side effects as the lovenox. | F | 32 | 8 weeks | 10/4/2009 | 5 | Pregnancy | Headaches (cured by walking & eating ice chips), bruising, & hard knots at the injection site | I lost my first child & if I would not have been admitted for a rare blood disorder than I may have lost the present baby due to blood clots; the doctor's found the 2 mutated genes for blood clots and immediately put me on the injection of 70 & I am alive again...I am able to walk for almost an hour, work a full shift and eat. My fiance administers the shot and yes it does hurt, but I love not having to worry about loosing my son | F | 29 | 3 weeks | 10/8/2009 | 5 | left ovarian thrombosis | bruising, stinging when injecing, some bleeding when injecting, some headaches and grumpiness. | I developed left ovarian thrombosis post-partum and was in the hospital twice. We did a second CT after 30 days and found a significant reduction in size but are continuing the shots twice daily for another 30 days with another CT to make sure that the clot is completely gone. | F | 36 | 40 days | 12/21/2009 | 5 | Pregnancy - History Of DVT | Lightheaded, fatigue and nausea . I took lovenox throughout my first pregnant for almost a year. | F | 23 | 1 years 30mg 2x | 7/1/2014 | 5 | Coumadin made my hair start to fall | Some bruises on my stomach but overall I love this drug and it's benefits | F | 40 | 5 years | 11/4/2007 | 5 | Pregnancy | So far I have experienced some burning after injection and some large bruising (not alot) and knots. | I have had 2 normal pregnancies and then a third one ended in a 17 wk. miscarriage. They discovered I have Antiphospholipid Syndrome. I am at 15 wks now and have beed taking the shots for almost 30 days. So far, I have had a couple of really bad bruises and some burning at injection site. Burning has gotten increasingly better. Definitely helps to release the air before giving the shot. Overall, I hate having to give myself shots, but it is well worth it and so far is going well. | F | 28 | 30 days | 5/22/2008 | 5 | Pregnancy/Factor V Leiden | bruising at injection site at first; after a couple of months I did not bruise every time; bruised more easily while pg | Compared to my previous pregnancy before my FVL diagnosis, this one was wonderful. Lovenox made all the difference and helped me have a healthy full term pregnancy this time. | F | 34 | 10 months | 4/29/2008 | 5 | DVT right calf | EXPENSIVE and pain at injection site for a few minutes. That's about it. Am currently transitioning over to Coumadin and am having major side effects from that. Lovenox is such an easier alternative, I will miss it, my insurance won't cover it anymore ;( | Been on it for 6 months, 1st few weeks really seemed like a pain and literally was painful. But I got used to it quickly and doesn't bother me at all now. Gives me great relief to not have to worry about clots anymore. | F | 38 | 6 months | 1/29/2009 | 5 | Postpartum DVT | I don't know if it was encouraged but became mildly depressed as well as postpartum anxiety which I am still experiencing. I was on 60 mg twice a day, I experienced some severe bruising as well as hard fluid collections under the skin (those took several months to subside.) | If I choose to have another child I will probably be on lovenox the entire pregnancy. | F | 33 | 12 weeks | 2/8/2009 | 5 | DVT | Bruising at injection sites; some injection sites have hard area; tiredness which may be from decreased activity due to DVT; | Leg had swollen to bursting point when doctor started lovenox injections. Pain intensity began dropping overnight. Swelling is down considerably after 20 days of injections. Added oral Coumadin over past 2 weeks. Don't care for the injections but I think this drug saved my life and prevented a PE. | F | 61 | 20 days | 8/17/2008 | 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 | 8/21/2008 | 5 | FVL, Lupus Anticoag, DVT, Double PE | Slight bruising at some injection site, patient error from clutching skin too tight. Slight taste In mouth while injecting. No other side effects. Warfarin user for 10 years, switched to Lovenox because pt/inr would not stay normal. Was getting blood drawn every week. Since off warfarin not tired all the time and feel better in general. | F | 38 | 2 months 180 mg day | 2/27/2012 | 5 | DVT + Coumadin failure and new PE | The nausea I struggled with in the beginning is now just an occasional nuisance. Other than a bruise now and then, I no longer experience any regular side-effects with Lovenox. | F | 47 | 3 months 150 1X day | 10/11/2011 Patient History | 5 | blood clotting disorder - pregnancy | pain during injection, bruising, occasional knots under injection site | i have not had any additional side effects whatsoever and don't think i was even aware that there were any likely "extra" side effects besides the injection issues. i took this my entire first pregnancy without complication as well, and was so very grateful for it since it allowed me a successful pregnancy unlike earlier miscarriages. | F | 36 | 9 months 40 mg 1X day | 8/8/2011 | 5 | postive factor five | Just bruising taking the shot is like breathing now very easy | I feel the lovenox has saved my life..4 blood clots in my right leg PE in right lung..clot in my vena cava now have greenfield filter.. Lovenox makes me.feel safe | F | 42 | 10 years 100 1X day | 8/17/2011 | 5 | Lupus anticoagulant syndrome | Burning, itching, bruising, lumps at injection site. I dry the alcohol at the site with a hair dryer before the injection and that seems to help. | 9 weeks into a very small dose of estrogen (HRT), I had permanent vision loss due to a central retinal artery occlusion. Much testing revealed high levels of lupus anticoagulant antibodies. I fall a lot because I've lost my depth perception and that leads to bruising, but the bruising isn't outrageous on the lovenox. Supposedly I'll be on the lovenox for life. | F | 50 | 2 months 120mg 1X day | 5/9/2011 | 5 | Pregnancy/Antiphosolipid syndrome | mild pain with injections, bruising at site, recently oozing from site | First pregnancy ended at 29 weeks with myself almost dying due to HELLP and PRE-E, son was born extremely small and spent 3 mths in hospital. I am currently 36 weeks pregnant and don't believe that would have happened without Lovenox | F | 32 | 9 months 40mg 1X day | 3/23/2013 | 5 | FVL MTHFR pregnancy | occasional pain/stinging at injection site, bruising, nausea when upping the dose | This was a relatively easy way to treat my blood clotting disorder during pregnancy/postpartum. No monitoring needed, which was nice, although it is very expensive. No problems with delivery - stopped the shots 24 hours before an induction and was on them again twelve hours after delivery. | F | 29 | 10 months | 3/8/2009 |
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)
