1. What Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen is and what it is used for

Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen contains the active substance enoxaparin sodium. It belongs to a group of medicines called low molecular weight heparins or LMWHs.
Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen works in two ways:

  • 1) It prevents the formation of new blood clots and stops existing blood clots from getting bigger. This helps your body to dissolve existing blood clots and prevents them from causing harm.
  • 2) It prevents the formation of new blood clots in your blood.

Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen can be used to:

  • Treat blood clots that are already formed in your blood.
  • Prevent blood clots from forming in your blood in the following situations: before and after surgery, when you are bedridden due to a short-term illness.

in patients who have developed blood clots in the circulating blood due to cancer, to further prevent the formation of new blood clots

  • Prevent blood clots from forming in unstable angina (when not enough blood is being supplied to the heart muscle) or after a heart attack.
  • Prevent blood clots from forming in the tubes of a dialyzer (used in people with severe kidney problems).

2. Important information before using Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen

Do not use Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen if:

  • you are allergic to enoxaparin sodium or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6) or to heparin or other low molecular weight heparins such as nadroparin, tinzaparin, or dalteparin. Symptoms of an allergic reaction may include rash, difficulty breathing or swallowing, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, mouth, throat, or eyes.
  • you have had a previous reaction to heparin that caused a significant decrease in the number of blood cells responsible for blood clotting (platelets) in the last 100 days.
  • you have antibodies against enoxaparin in your blood.
  • you have severe bleeding or a medical condition that increases the risk of bleeding, such as stomach ulcers, recent brain or eye surgery, or recent hemorrhagic stroke.
  • you are using Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen to treat blood clots and you are scheduled to have a lumbar puncture or surgery under spinal or epidural anesthesia within the next 24 hours.

Warnings and precautions

Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen should not be used interchangeably with other low molecular weight heparins. This is because they are not identical and differ in their activity and instructions for use.
Before starting treatment with Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen, you should discuss with your doctor or pharmacist if:

  • you have ever had a reaction to heparin that caused a significant decrease in the number of blood cells responsible for blood clotting (platelets)

Instructions for syringes without a safety system

  • Preparing the injection site: Before injecting, wash your hands and dry them. Use a swab to clean (without rubbing) the chosen injection site. A different area of the abdomen should be used for each injection.
  • Remove the protective cap from the needle. It is possible that a drop may appear at the tip of the needle. If this happens, remove the drop by tapping the syringe (with the needle facing down) before injecting.
  • Inject the medicine: The pre-filled syringe is ready for immediate use. Choose a site on the right or left side of the abdomen. It should be at least 5 cm away from the navel and towards the side.

If you experience any of the following symptoms, you should stop using enoxaparin and seek medical attention immediately:

  • Red, scaly, widespread rash with thickening of the skin and blisters, accompanied by fever. These symptoms usually appear at the beginning of treatment (acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis).

Like other similar medicines (used to thin the blood), Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen may cause bleeding. This can be life-threatening. In some cases, bleeding may not be immediately visible.

or
shortness of breath, chest pain, fainting, or coughing up blood - these are symptoms of pulmonary embolism.

  • if you experience painful rash or purple spots under the skin that do not fade when pressed. Your doctor may order blood tests to check your platelet count.

Other side effects:

Very common (may affect more than 1 in 10 people):

  • bleeding;
  • increased activity of liver enzymes. Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):
  • increased tendency to bruise - this may be due to a decrease in the number of platelets in your blood;
  • red spots on the skin - these changes are more likely to occur at the injection sites of Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen;
  • skin rash (hives);
  • itching, redness of the skin;
  • bruising or pain at the injection site;
  • decrease in red blood cells;
  • increase in platelets;
  • headache. Uncommon (may affect up to 1 in 100 people):
  • sudden severe headache - this could be a sign of bleeding in the brain;

  • large, red, irregularly-shaped patches on the skin, with or without blisters;
  • skin irritation (local irritation);
  • you may notice yellowing of the skin or eyes and darker urine
    • these may be signs of liver problems. Rare (may affect up to 1 in 1000 people):
