1. What is Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen and what is it 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 growth of existing blood clots. This helps the body to dissolve existing blood clots, making them less harmful.
  • 2) It prevents the formation of new blood clots in the patient's blood.

Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen can be used to:

  • Treat blood clots that are already present in the patient's blood.
  • Prevent the formation of blood clots in the patient's blood in the following situations: before and after surgery, during a short-term illness when the patient will be unable to move for a period of time

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

  • Prevent the formation of blood clots in unstable angina (when an insufficient amount of blood is supplied to the heart muscle) or after a heart attack
  • Prevent the formation of blood clots in dialysis tubes (used in people with severe kidney function disorders).

2. Important information before using Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen

Do not use Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen if:

  • the patient is allergic to: enoxaparin sodium or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6) 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.
  • the patient has had a reaction to heparin that caused a significant decrease in the number of blood cells responsible for blood clotting (platelets) in the last 100 days.
  • there are antibodies against enoxaparin in the patient's blood.
  • the patient has severe bleeding or a medical condition associated with an increased risk of bleeding, such as: stomach ulcers, recent brain or eye surgery, or recent hemorrhagic stroke.
  • the patient is using Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen to treat blood clots, and a lumbar puncture or spinal or epidural anesthesia is planned within 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 exactly the same, differ in activity, and have different instructions for use.
Before starting to use Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen, you should discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist if:

  • the patient has ever had a reaction to heparin that caused a large decrease in the number of blood cells responsible for blood clotting (platelets)
  • the patient has had a heart valve replaced
  • the patient has endocarditis (infection of the membrane lining the heart)
  • the patient has a history of stomach ulcers
  • the patient has recently had a stroke
  • the patient has high blood pressure
  • the patient has diabetes or has vascular disorders in the eyes caused by diabetes (so-called diabetic retinopathy)
  • the patient has recently had eye or brain surgery
  • the patient is elderly (over 65 years), especially if they are over 75 years old
  • the patient has kidney disease
  • the patient has liver disease
  • the patient is underweight or overweight
  • the patient has an increased level of potassium in the blood (which can be checked with a blood test)
  • the patient is currently taking medications that may cause bleeding (see section 2 "Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen and other medicines").
  • the patient has spinal problems or has had spinal surgery.

If any of the above situations apply to the patient or the patient has any doubts, they should discuss it with their doctor or pharmacist before starting to use Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen.
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per dose, which means it is essentially "sodium-free".

  • Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen is usually given by subcutaneous injection.
  • Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen may be given by intravenous injection after certain types of heart attack or after surgery.
  • Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen may be introduced into the dialysis tube returning blood from the body (into the so-called arterial line) at the start of the dialysis session.
  • Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen must not be given by intramuscular injection.

Dose of the medicine

  • The doctor will decide what dose of Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen the patient should take. This depends on the reason for using the medicine.
  • In patients with kidney disease, the patient may receive a lower dose of Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen.
    • 1) Treatment of blood clots in the patient's blood
  • The usual dose is 150 IU (1.5 mg) per kilogram of body weight once a day or 100 IU (1 mg) per kilogram of body weight twice a day.
  • The doctor will decide how long the patient should receive Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen.
    • 2) Prevention of blood clots in the patient's blood during surgery or when mobility is reduced due to illness
  • The dose depends on the patient's risk of developing a blood clot. The patient will receive Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen at a dose of 2000 IU (20 mg) or 4000 IU (40 mg) once a day.
  • For planned surgery, the first injection is usually given 2 hours or 12 hours before surgery.
  • If the patient has reduced mobility due to illness, they will usually receive Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen at a dose of 4000 IU (40 mg) once a day.
  • The doctor will decide how long the patient should receive Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen.
    • 3) Prevention of blood clots in patients with unstable angina or after a heart attackEnoxaparin sodium Ledraxen can be used in two different types of heart attack. The dose of Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen will depend on the patient's age and the type of heart attack they have had.

Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) (heart attack without ST-segment elevation):

  • The usual dose is 100 IU (1 mg) per kilogram of body weight every 12 hours.
  • The doctor will usually recommend that the patient also takes aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid).
  • The doctor will decide how long the patient should receive Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen. ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (heart attack with ST-segment elevation) in patients under 75 years of age:
  • The initial dose of Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen is 3000 IU (30 mg) given as an intravenous injection.
  • At the same time, Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen will also be given as a subcutaneous injection. The usual dose is 100 IU (1 mg) per kilogram of body weight every 12 hours.
  • The doctor will usually recommend that the patient also takes aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid).

Patient undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI):
Depending on when the last dose of Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen was given, the doctor may decide to give an additional dose of Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen before the PCI procedure. The medicine will be given as an intravenous injection.

  • 4) Prevention of blood clots in dialysis tubes
    • The usual dose is 100 IU (1 mg) per kilogram of body weight.
    • Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen is injected into the tube returning blood from the body (into the so-called arterial line) at the start of the dialysis session. This dose is usually sufficient for a 4-hour dialysis session. However, if necessary, the doctor may give the patient an additional dose of 50 IU to 100 IU (0.5 to 1 mg) per kilogram of body weight. Self-administration of Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen. If the patient is able to self-administer Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen, the doctor or nurse will demonstrate how to do it. Do not attempt to self-administer if you have not been trained. If you are unsure, ask your doctor or nurse. Administering the injection properly under the skin (so-called subcutaneous injection) can reduce pain and bruising at the injection site. Before self-administering Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen
    • Prepare all the necessary items: syringe, alcohol swab, soap and water, and a container for medical waste.
    • Check the expiration date on the packaging. Do not use the medicine after the expiration date.
    • Check if the syringe is damaged and if the liquid is clear. If not, use another syringe.
    • Make sure what dose is to be injected.
    • Examine the abdomen to check if the last injection has caused redness, discoloration, swelling, discharge, or if it is still painful. If so, consult a doctor or nurse.

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 for a drop to form at the tip of the needle. If this happens, remove the drop by tapping the syringe body (with the needle facing down).
  • Perform the injection: 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. Hold the syringe so that the needle is facing down (at a 90° angle), into the thickness of the skin fold created by pinching the skin between the thumb and index finger of the operator. Hold the fold throughout the injection.
  • Discard the syringe immediately into a suitable container.

  • Changing from medicines that thin the blood, known as vitamin K antagonists (such as warfarin), to Enoxaparin sodium LedraxenStop taking the vitamin K antagonist. The doctor will advise the patient to have blood tests to measure the INR and will inform the patient when to start taking Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen.
  • Changing from Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen to direct oral anticoagulantsStop taking Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen. Then start taking the direct oral anticoagulant 0 to 2 hours before the scheduled time of the next injection; and then continue taking the medicine as usual.
  • Changing from direct oral anticoagulant to Enoxaparin sodium LedraxenStop taking the direct oral anticoagulant. Treatment with Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen can be started 12 hours after the last dose of the direct oral anticoagulant.

Using a higher dose of Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen than recommended

If the patient thinks they have used too much or too little Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen, they should immediately inform their doctor, pharmacist, or nurse, even if they do not have any symptoms. In case of accidental injection or ingestion of Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen by a child, immediately go to the hospital emergency department.

Missing a dose of Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen

If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as possible. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose. Keeping a diary helps to ensure that no dose is missed.

Stopping Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen

It is important to continue injecting Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen until the doctor advises to stop. If treatment is stopped, a blood clot may form, which can be very dangerous.

if the patient experiences painful rash or dark red spots under the skin that do not disappear when pressed. The doctor may order blood tests to check the platelet count.

  • if the patient experiences any of the following symptoms, tell your doctor or pharmacist. See section 4.

Other side effects:

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

  • bleeding;
  • increased liver enzyme activity. Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):
