Lovenox (enoxaparin) is an anticoagulant that primarily works by inhibiting factor Xa and factor IIa in the coagulation cascade, while INR (International Normalized Ratio) is a measure used to monitor the effectiveness of vitamin K antagonists like warfarin. Lovenox does not directly affect INR levels, as it operates through a different mechanism. However, if a patient is on both Lovenox and warfarin, the INR may be influenced by the combined anticoagulation effects. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized medical advice.
