Cutenox 80 MG Injection 0.8 ML contains enoxaparin (80 mg), which works in the body through the following mechanisms:

• Factor Xa inhibition: Enoxaparin primarily works by blocking the activity of a clotting factor called Factor Xa in your blood, which plays a crucial role in the blood clotting process.

• Thrombin inhibition: This medicine also inhibits thrombin, another important clotting factor that converts fibrinogen (a soluble protein) into fibrin (insoluble strands that form a mesh to trap platelets and form a clot).

• Anticoagulant effect: By inhibiting these clotting factors, enoxaparin prevents the formation of new blood clots and stops existing clots from growing larger, reducing the risk of serious complications from blood clots.

• Blood flow improvement: Through its anticoagulant action, the medicine helps maintain proper blood flow through your blood vessels, especially in areas where clots might form or have already formed.

Cutenox 80 MG Injection 0.8 ML must be stored as directed below to maintain its efficacy:

• If you are taking Cutenox 80 MG Injection 0.8 ML to prevent blood clots, try to stay physically active with gentle walking as movement helps improve circulation and reduces the risk of clot formation.

• Maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamin K (found in leafy green vegetables) as this helps regulate your body's natural blood clotting process, but keep your intake consistent while on anticoagulant therapy.
