Further past, have taken on/off when Coumadin has been unsuccessful and/or when preparing for a medical procedure. | Currently, I am having tingling, numbness in my spine, arms and legs, huge hematomas at injection sites, pressure in my lower adbdomen. I feel more uncomfortable with twice daily long term Lovenox than on Coumadin. | F | 51 | 5 years 100 mg 2X day | 9/29/2010 | 4 | splenectomy and blood clot | black and blue, itching, heaviness in legs | F | 51 | 4 years 100mg 1X day | 4/16/2010 | 3 | IVC Filter | Have been on Lovenox for 4 yrs. after failing coumadin.After bilateral P.E.'s they put the filter in and ever since have been on anti-coags and have felt terrible with flushing, chest pain, increased sweating, heat intolerance,fatigue, diarrhea, etc.I wonder in I just shouldn't go off these blood thinners but I am afraid of the blood clots that can form around these filters. | F | 59 | 4 years | 10/4/2007 | 4 | 3 bouts of DVTs & PE | Shots are painful, hard spots around my waist, but the stuff works. | Because of temperature requirements, I am limited where I can travel with lovenox. | M | 59 | 3 years | 7/20/2007 | 3 | protein s deficiency/ PE'S AND DVT | Hard knots in stomach as large as baseballs at times.very sore stomach most of time.I'm a life longer on this drug but while being on it and asprin still had a heart attack and stroke.I also have frequent tia's. I would like to hear from someone who is a lifer and any long term effects from this drug. | F | 34 | 3 years | 9/25/2007 | 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 | 4 | DVT and Cancer | Fatigue, shortness of breath, and bruising. | The side effects are bothersome but this medicine has allowed me to take a medicine for my cancer that I would not have been able to take otherwise. I too also wish this was in pill form. | F | 48 | 2 years | 10/20/2008 | 4 | ADVANCED FACTOR V LEIDEN, DVT & PE | AWFUL BRUISING AROUND INJECTION SITE. COLD SWEATS. ABDOMINAL PAIN. | LONG TERM EFFECTS INCLUDE OSTHIOPEROSIS...AND THAT IS BOTHERSOME BECAUSE I AM A LIFER ON THIS DRUG. | M | 35 | 1.5 years | 12/9/2005 | 5 | Pregnancy; H/O Stroke | Pain & swelling at injection site, bruising | Thank you lovenox! After 8 miscarriages, they figured out I have Antiphosolipid syndrome and I am currently 13 weeks with my baby. Numb the injection site first and it makes the injection far more bearable. We also found that taking the air out decreased the pain drastically! | F | 32 | 1 years | 6/21/2007 | 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 | 4 | Antiphospholipid Syndrome | Bruising, hematomas, soreness until I experimented and became adept at giving myself the shots. Anyone who complains of these things would be wise to experiment and ask several nurses to demonstrate proper technique. I noticed someone here saying things improved for them AFTER they began pinching the skin while giving the injection. No subcutaneous should EVER be given without pinching the site. There's no way to avoid bruising and huge lumps if you aren't pinching the skin at the injection site. Those who complain of the liquid being "painful" need to pinch tighter. Done correctly, there is virtually no pain associated with this injection unless you happen to hit some nerves. In this case, pull out and move slightly. | Give the injection slowly. Count to 30 quickly while giving the injection slowly -- very slowly. Always pinch the skin. When finished, hold the needle where it is and count to 5 quickly. Pull it out a little and count to 10 quickly. Then slowly remove it the rest of the way. NEVER rub the injection site BEFORE or AFTER giving yourself the injection. You'll bruise heavily, get hematomas, and experience pain as a result. This really should be no big deal. If it is, you're doing it wrong. | F | 54 | 1 years 120 mg 2X day | 3/27/2010 | 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 | 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 | 4 | DVT AND PE AND FACTOR V | Bruising and nodulers under skin where injections were given ... | F | 55 | 10 months 90mg | 6/19/2013 | 4 | MTHFR Pregnancy | burns during injection, lots of bruising & hard knots at injection sites | After losing 4 children during pregnancy, and having 2 successfully with this drug, I think it is a miracle. Wish they could make it cheaper with less pain and bruising, but that's nothing if it means having living-breathing children. | F | 32 | 10 months 30mg 1X day | 3/16/2010 | 3 | blood clot in left leg | sore stomach and arms, knots formed whenever i bumped into anything | helped prevent further blood clots but very sore after 1 month | F | 15 | 10 months | 10/17/2005 |
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)
