Description
Overview of the medicine
Noxarin-8000 is an anticoagulant (blood thinner) used to prevent and treat various types of blood clots, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). It belongs to the class of low molecular weight heparins.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Varies by indication. For treatment of DVT/PE: 1 mg/kg subcutaneously every 12 hours or 1.5 mg/kg subcutaneously once daily. For DVT prophylaxis: 40 mg subcutaneously once daily. For NSTEMI/unstable angina: 1 mg/kg subcutaneously every 12 hours. For STEMI: A bolus dose followed by 1 mg/kg subcutaneously every 12 hours.
Elderly
No dosage adjustment is generally needed for the elderly unless there is severe renal impairment (CrCl < 30 mL/min). Monitor carefully for bleeding.
Renal_impairment
Severe renal impairment (CrCl < 30 mL/min): Dosage reduction is recommended. For treatment: 1 mg/kg subcutaneously once daily. For prophylaxis: 20 mg subcutaneously once daily.
How to Take
Administer by deep subcutaneous injection into the abdominal wall, alternating sides. Do not inject intramuscularly. The air bubble in the syringe should not be expelled before injection to ensure full dose delivery. Do not mix with other injections.
Mechanism of Action
Enoxaparin potentiates the activity of antithrombin III, leading to the inactivation of clotting factors, particularly Factor Xa and, to a lesser extent, Factor IIa (thrombin). This prevents the formation and growth of blood clots.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Within 3-5 hours (peak anti-Xa activity).
Excretion
Mainly excreted renally as intact drug and metabolites. Renal clearance is the major elimination pathway.
Half life
Approximately 4.5 to 7 hours after a single subcutaneous dose, extending with renal impairment.
Absorption
Rapid and complete absorption after subcutaneous injection, reaching peak plasma levels within 3-5 hours.
Metabolism
Primarily metabolized in the liver by desulfation and depolymerization into lower molecular weight species.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- •Active major bleeding or conditions with a high risk of uncontrolled bleeding (e.g., active gastric ulcer, hemorrhagic stroke).
- •History of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) with or without thrombosis.
- •Hypersensitivity to enoxaparin, heparin, other low molecular weight heparins, or pork products.
- •Acute bacterial endocarditis.
- •Spinal or epidural anesthesia in patients with severe bleeding risk or within 24 hours of an enoxaparin dose for prophylaxis.
Drug Interactions
Thrombolytics
Significantly increased risk of bleeding. Avoid concomitant use if possible.
Warfarin and other oral anticoagulants
Increased risk of bleeding. Close monitoring and careful transition are required when switching.
NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs)
Increased risk of bleeding. Use with caution.
Antiplatelet agents (e.g., aspirin, clopidogrel)
Increased risk of bleeding. Concomitant use should be with caution and close monitoring.
Storage
Store below 25°C (77°F). Do not freeze. Protect from light. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the solution is discolored or contains particles.
Overdose
Accidental overdose can lead to hemorrhagic complications. The anticoagulant effects can be largely neutralized by the slow intravenous injection of protamine sulfate. Dose of protamine sulfate should be carefully adjusted based on the enoxaparin dose administered and time since administration.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy: Category B. Limited human data suggest no increased risk of major birth defects. Use during pregnancy only if clearly needed. Lactation: Enoxaparin is excreted into breast milk in small amounts. Generally considered compatible with breastfeeding, but caution is advised.
