Enoxaparin.
Lovenox, a type of blood thinner, was developed by the French pharmaceutical company Aventis. It was approved for use in the United States in 1993.
Lovenox is produced through a complex process that involves extracting heparin from animal tissues, such as pig intestines. The heparin is then modified and purified to create enoxaparin, the active ingredient in Lovenox. The final product is formulated into injections for medical use.
Alcohol might interfer with coagulation process. You should avoid big quantity of alcohol. Small amount and not frequent consummation might be OK, it depends on the reason you take lovenox.
The antidote is protomine sulfate.
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.
