How does Enoxaparin (Lovenox) Work? Enoxaparin is an anticoagulant medication that promotes antithrombin 3 to block clotting factors 2 (thrombin) and X (Ten). It is a low molecular weight heparin.

Enoxaparin is an anticoagulant, brand name: Lovenox. We also talk about Dalteparin (Fragmin) which is also a low molecular weight heparin. This is used to treat and prevent blood clots from forming which may lead to heart attack and stroke patients. Anticoagulant therapy seeks to prevent the development of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolisms.

This pharmacology lecture covers topics such as Anticoagulant drugs. We talk about Enoxaparin, Dalteparin and how it is a low molecular weight heparin anticoagulant. We discuss how enoxaparin helps block the clotting factors 2 and 10 which leads to less fibrin being formed. This causes the lowering of blood clots. Also, we talk about the pathophysiology of the clotting cascade, heart attack and stroke and how anticoagulation therapy is beneficial. We discuss the mechanism of action of Enoxaparin and its side effects.
