Description

Introduction

Enclex 40 mg/0.4 mL Injection is an anticoagulant medicine containing enoxaparin sodium. It belongs to a group of medicines called low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs), which help prevent harmful blood clots from forming and stop existing clots from growing larger.

Enclex is commonly prescribed to help prevent blood clots in patients undergoing certain surgeries, those with limited mobility, and patients with specific heart or clotting conditions. It is supplied as a pre-filled injection and should be used according to a doctor’s prescription.

Uses of Enclex 40 mg/0.4 mL Injection

Enclex Injection may be prescribed for:

• Prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot that forms in a deep vein.
• Prevention of blood clots following certain surgical procedures.
• Prevention of clot formation in patients with limited mobility when medically indicated.
• Treatment of certain blood clotting conditions, as prescribed by a doctor.
• Management of selected acute coronary conditions, such as unstable angina and certain types of heart attack, under medical supervision.

The dose and duration depend on the condition being treated and the patient’s medical history.

How Enclex Injection Works

Enclex contains enoxaparin sodium, which enhances the activity of antithrombin, a natural substance in the body that helps inhibit blood-clotting factors. This reduces the formation of harmful blood clots and helps prevent existing clots from becoming larger.

Directions for Use

• Use Enclex only as prescribed by your doctor.
• It is generally administered by injection under the skin (subcutaneously).
• Do not inject it into a muscle.
• Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional for using the pre-filled syringe.
• The dose and treatment duration depend on your condition, body weight, kidney function, and reason for treatment.
• Do not change the dose or discontinue treatment without consulting your doctor.

Storage

• Follow the storage conditions printed on the product packaging and patient leaflet.
• Product information commonly specifies storage below 25°C; verify the instructions for your specific pack.
• Protect the syringe from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
• Keep the medicine out of reach of children.
• Do not use the injection after its expiry date or if the solution appears abnormal or the syringe is damaged.

Safety Advice

• Bleeding risk: Enclex increases the risk of bleeding. Inform your doctor if you have a bleeding disorder, a history of stomach ulcers, or recent surgery.

• Pregnancy: Consult your doctor before use during pregnancy. Tell your healthcare team if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy.
• Spinal or epidural procedures: Inform your doctor if you are having spinal anaesthesia or an epidural procedure because of the risk of bleeding around the spinal cord.
