Clexane 60mg Injection 0.6ml

Clexane Injection is utilised for the following purposes:

• Preventing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which are blood clots forming in the deep veins

• Avoiding pulmonary embolism (PE), a potentially fatal condition where a clot travels to the lungs

• Reducing risks associated with surgery, such as hip or knee replacements

• Minimising complications in patients with unstable angina or certain types of heart attacks when used with aspirin

• Treating established DVT and PE

• Preventing recurrence of DVT and PE, particularly in cancer patients

Administer Clexane Injection as follows:

• It is administered as a subcutaneous injection, usually in the abdominal area.

• Do not inject into the muscle.

• Alternate between left and right sides of the abdomen for each injection.

• Gently pinch the skin and insert the entire length of the needle vertically into the fatty tissue.

• Do not rub the injection site afterwards.

• For specific advice, consult your doctor.

Clexane Injection is administered subcutaneously.

Clexane Injection contains enoxaparin (60 mg). This active ingredient works in the body through several mechanisms:

• Enhances Antithrombin III: Enoxaparin boosts the inhibitory effects of antithrombin III, a natural substance in our bodies that helps thin the blood.

• Inactivates Clotting Factors: By accelerating the activity of antithrombin III, enoxaparin deactivates two crucial clotting factors - Factor Xa and thrombin (Factor IIa).

• Prevents Blood Clots: By inhibiting these clotting factors, enoxaparin effectively prevents the formation and growth of blood clots.

• Store the Clexane Injection at room temperature, ideally below 25°C.

• Keep it away from direct heat and light; do not refrigerate or freeze it.

• Always keep the medication out of reach of children.

• Since Clexane Injection is used to manage blood clots, try to include foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids such as fish, walnuts, and flaxseeds in your diet as they are known to promote heart health.

• Engage in regular light physical activities such as walking or stretching exercises to improve circulation and prevent blood clot formation. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
