1. What is Inhixa and what is it used for

Inhixa contains an active ingredient called enoxaparin sodium, which is a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH).

Inhixa acts in two ways:

  1. Preventing existing blood clots from growing larger. This helps your body break them down and prevent further damage.
  2. Interrupting the formation of blood clots.

Inhixa can be used for:

  • Treating blood clots.
  • Preventing blood clots from forming in the following situations:
    • Before and after surgery.
    • When you have an acute illness and are required to have reduced mobility.
    • When you have developed blood clots due to cancer, to prevent new clots from forming.
    • When you have unstable angina (a condition in which not enough blood reaches the heart).
    • After a heart attack.
  • Preventing blood clots from forming in dialysis tubing (used in people with severe kidney problems).

2. What you need to know before starting to use Inhixa

No use Inhixa

  • If you are allergic to enoxaparin sodium or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6). Signs of an allergic reaction include: rash, difficulty swallowing or breathing, swelling of the lips, face, throat, or tongue.
  • If you are allergic to heparin or other low molecular weight heparins such as nadroparin, tinzaparin, or dalteparin.
  • If you have had a reaction to heparin that caused a severe decrease in the number of platelets (a condition known as heparin-induced thrombocytopenia) in the last 100 days or if you have antibodies against enoxaparin in your blood.
  • If you are bleeding heavily or have a high risk of bleeding (such as stomach ulcers, recent eye or brain surgery), including recent hemorrhagic stroke.
  • If you are using Inhixa to treat blood clots and are going to receive spinal or epidural anesthesia or lumbar puncture within 24 hours.

Warnings and Precautions

Inhixa should not be exchanged with other medications that belong to the group of low molecular weight heparins. This is because they are not exactly the same and do not have the same activity or instructions for use.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to use Inhixa if:

  • You have ever had a reaction to heparin that caused a severe decrease in the number of platelets
  • You are going to receive spinal or lumbar anesthesia or puncture (see "Surgical procedures and anesthesia"): a delay should be respected between Inhixa and the use of this procedure
  • You have had a heart valve implanted
  • You have endocarditis (a heart infection)
  • You have a history of stomach ulcers
  • You have recently had a stroke (cerebral hemorrhage)
  • You have high blood pressure
  • You have diabetes or eye blood vessel problems caused by diabetes (diabetic retinopathy)
  • You have recently had eye or brain surgery
  • You are an elderly person (over 65 years old) and especially if you are over 75 years old
  • You have kidney problems
  • You have liver problems
  • You have a very low or high body weight
  • You have high potassium levels in your blood (which could be checked with a blood test)
  • You are currently using medications that affect bleeding (see below - Using Inhixa with other medications)

You may need to have a blood test before starting to use this medication, and while you are using it; this is to check the level of platelets and potassium levels in your blood.

Children and Adolescents

The safety and efficacy of Inhixa have not been evaluated in children or adolescents.

Using Inhixa with Other Medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have used recently, or may need to use any other medication.

  • Warfarin - another anticoagulant medication used to reduce blood clotting
  • Acetylsalicylic acid (also known as aspirin or AAS), clopidogrel, or other medications used to interrupt blood clot formation (see also section 3, "Changing anticoagulant treatment")
  • Dextran injection - used as a blood substitute
  • Ibuprofen, diclofenac, ketorolac, and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications used to treat pain and inflammation in arthritis and other diseases
  • Prednisolone, dexamethasone, and other medications used to treat asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and other diseases
  • Medications that increase potassium levels in the blood, such as potassium salts, diuretics, and some medications for heart problems.

Surgical Procedures and Anesthesia

If you are going to have a lumbar puncture or undergo a surgical procedure where spinal or epidural anesthesia will be used, inform your doctor that you are using Inhixa. See "Using Inhixa with other medications". Also, inform your doctor if you have any problems with your spine or have had spinal surgery.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

If you are pregnant and have a mechanical heart valve, you may have a higher risk of blood clots. Your doctor will discuss this with you.

If you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed, you should consult your doctor before using this medication.

Driving and Using Machines

Inhixa does not affect the ability to drive and use machines.

Tracking

Keeping a record of your Inhixa batch number is important. Therefore, each time you receive a new package of Inhixa, note the date and batch number (which is on the package after Lot) and store this information in a safe place.

Inhixa contains sodium

This medication contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per dose; this is, essentially "sodium-free".

3. How to Use Inhixa

Follow exactly the administration instructions of this medication as indicated by your doctor or pharmacist. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

Medication use

  • Your doctor or nurse will normally administer Inhixa. This is because it has to be administered by injection.
  • When you return home, you may need to continue using Inhixa and administer it yourself (see instructions on how to do it).
  • Inhixa is usually administered by subcutaneous injection.
  • Inhixa can be administered by intravenous injection after certain types of heart attacks and surgical procedures.
  • Inhixa can be added to the tube that comes out of the body (arterial line) at the beginning of dialysis sessions.

Do not administer Inhixa intramuscularly.

How much will be administered

  • Your doctor will decide how much Inhixa will be administered to you. The dose will depend on the reason it is being used.
  • If you have any kidney problems, you may be administered a smaller amount of Inhixa.
  1. Treatment of blood clots:
    • The usual dose is 150 UI (1.5 mg) per kilogram of body weight once a day or 100 UI (1 mg) per kilogram of body weight twice a day.
    • Your doctor will decide how long you will receive Inhixa.
  2. Prevention of blood clot formation in the following situations:
  • Surgeries or periods of limited mobility due to illness
    • The dose will depend on the likelihood that you will develop a blood clot. You will be administered 2,000 UI (20 mg) or 4,000 UI (40 mg) of Inhixa per day.
    • If you are going to undergo surgery, you will usually be administered the first injection 2 or 12 hours before the surgery.
    • If you have limited mobility due to illness, you will usually be administered 4,000 UI (40 mg) of Inhixa per day.
    • Your doctor will decide how long you will receive Inhixa.
  • After a heart attack

Inhixa can be used in two different types of heart attacks, called STEMI (ST-elevation myocardial infarction) or non-STEMI (NSTEMI). The amount of Inhixa administered will depend on your age and the type of heart attack you had.

Non-STEMI heart attack:

  • The usual dose is 100 UI (1 mg) per kilogram of body weight every 12 hours.
  • You will usually be told to also take aspirin.
  • Your doctor will decide how long you will receive Inhixa.

STEMI heart attack if under 75 years old:

  • You will be administered an initial intravenous injection of 3,000 UI (30 mg) of Inhixa.
  • At the same time, you will be administered a subcutaneous injection of Inhixa.

The usual dose is 100 UI (1 mg) per kilogram of body weight every 12 hours.

  • You will usually be told to also take aspirin.
  • Your doctor will decide how long you will receive Inhixa.

STEMI heart attack if 75 years old or older:

  • The usual dose is 75 UI (0.75 mg) per kilogram of body weight every 12 hours.
  • The maximum amount of Inhixa administered in the first two injections is 7,500 UI (75 mg).
  • Your doctor will decide how long you will receive Inhixa.

For patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI):

Depending on when you were last administered an injection of Inhixa, your doctor may decide to administer an additional dose of Inhixa before a PCI procedure. This will be administered intravenously.

  1. Prevention of blood clot formation in dialysis tubes
  • The usual dose is 100 UI (1 mg) per kilogram of body weight.
  • Inhixa is added to the tube that comes out of the body (arterial line) at the beginning of dialysis sessions. This amount is usually sufficient for a 4-hour session. However, your doctor may perform a new injection of 50 UI to 100 UI/kg (0.5 to 1 mg/kg) per kilogram of body weight if necessary.

Self-administration of an Inhixa injection with a pre-loaded syringe without a needle shield

If you can administer this medication yourself, your doctor or nurse will show you how to do it. Do not attempt to inject yourself if you have not been taught how to do it. If you are unsure, consult your doctor or nurse immediately.

Before injecting Inhixa

  • Check the expiration date of the medication. If it has expired, do not use it.
  • Check if the syringe is not damaged and the liquid inside is transparent. If not, use another syringe.

Do not use this medication if you observe any changes in its appearance.

  • Check the amount to be injected.
  • Check if the last injection caused redness, skin color change, swelling, or pain. If so, talk to your doctor or nurse.
  • Decide the area where the medication will be injected. Alternate, each time you inject, the right side of the abdomen (belly) with the left. This medication should be injected just below the skin of the abdomen, but not too close to the navel or any scars (at least 5 cm away from them).
  • The pre-loaded syringe is for single use only.

Instructions for self-injecting Inhixa

  1. Wash your hands and the injection area with water and soap. Dry them.
  2. Sit or lie down in a comfortable and relaxed position. Make sure you can see the area where you will inject. It is best to do this in a divan, a reclining chair, or a bed with pillows for support.
  3. Choose an area on the right or left side of the belly. It should be more than 5 cm away from the navel and towards the sides.

Remember. Do not inject in the 5 cm around the navel or in scars or hematomas that may be present. Inject in the opposite area to the one injected the previous time (alternating the right side of the belly with the left).

  1. Take the blister pack containing the pre-loaded syringe out of the box. Open the blister pack and remove the pre-loaded syringe.
  1. Carefully remove the needle cap from the syringe, pulling it off. The syringe is pre-loaded and ready for use.

Do notpress the plunger before injecting. Once you have removed the cap, do not touch anything with the needle. This way, you will ensure that the needle remains clean (sterile).

  1. Hold the syringe with the hand you write with (as if it were a pencil) and, with the other hand, gently pinch the area of the abdomen between your index and middle finger to form a skin fold.

Make sure tohold the skin fold throughout the injection.

  1. Hold the syringe so that the needle points downwards (vertically at a 90-degree angle). Insert the entire needle into the skin fold.
  1. Press the plunger with your thumb. This will inject the medication into the abdominal fat tissue. Make sure to hold the skin fold throughout the injection.
  1. Remove the needle, pulling it straight out.

To avoid hematoma, do not rub the injection area after it has been injected.

  1. Deposit the used syringe in the sharp objects container. Close the container lid tightly and place it out of reach of children.

When the container is full, dispose of it as instructed by your doctor or pharmacist. Do not throw it away in the trash.

Change of anticoagulant treatment

  • Change from Inhixa to medications that reduce blood clotting called vitamin K antagonists (e.g. warfarin)

Your doctor will request a blood test to determine a parameter called INR and will tell you when to stop using Inhixa.

  • Change from vitamin K antagonists (e.g. warfarin) to Inhixa

Stop using the vitamin K antagonist. Your doctor will request a blood test to determine a parameter called INR and will tell you when to start using Inhixa.

  • Change from Inhixa to direct oral anticoagulants (e.g. apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, rivaroxaban)

Stop using Inhixa. Start taking the direct oral anticoagulant 0-2 hours before the time when you would have had the next Inhixa injection, and then continue as you normally do.

  • Change from direct oral anticoagulants to Inhixa

Stop taking the direct oral anticoagulant. Do not start using Inhixa until 12 hours after the last dose of the direct oral anticoagulant.

If you use more Inhixa than you should

If you think you have used too much or too little Inhixa, inform your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist immediately, even if you are not experiencing any problems. If a child accidentally injects or swallows Inhixa, take them immediately to the emergency department of a hospital.

If you forget to use Inhixa

If you forget to administer a dose, do it as soon as you remember. Do not use a double dose on the same day to compensate for the missed doses. To ensure that you do not forget any doses, it may be helpful to use a calendar.

If you interrupt Inhixa treatment

If you have any other questions about using this medication, ask your doctor or pharmacist or nurse. It is essential that you continue to receive Inhixa until your doctor decides to stop treatment. If you stop using it, a blood clot may form, which can be very dangerous.

4. Possible Adverse Effects

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everyone gets them.

Like other anticoagulant medicines (medicines to reduce blood clots), Inhixa could cause bleeding, which could potentially put your life in danger. In some cases, the bleeding may not be apparent.

If you notice any episode of bleeding that does not stop on its own or if you notice signs of excessive bleeding (unusual weakness, fatigue, paleness, dizziness, headache, or unexplained swelling), consult your doctor immediately.

Your doctor may decide to keep you under close observation or change your medication.

Stop treatment with Inhixa and inform your doctor or nurse immediately if you experience any signs of severe allergic reaction (such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the lips, mouth, throat, or eyes).

Stop treatment with enoxaparin and inform your doctor or nurse immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms:

  • A generalized, red, scaly rash, with bumps under the skin and blisters, accompanied by fever. Symptoms usually appear at the beginning of treatment (acute generalized pustular psoriasis).

You must inform your doctor

  • If you present any signs of a blood clot blocking a blood vessel, such as:
  • Cramp-like pain, redness, heat, or swelling in one of your legs – which are symptoms of deep vein thrombosis
  • Difficulty breathing, chest pain, fainting, or coughing up blood – which are symptoms of pulmonary embolism
  • If you have painful skin rash with dark red spots under the skin that do not disappear when pressed.

Your doctor may request that you have a blood test to check your platelet count.
