Composition

Enoxaparin (40 Mg)

Antixa 40 MG Injection 0.4 ML is primarily used for the management of venous thromboembolism and other conditions involving blood clot formation. It is part of a group of medicines known as low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) anticoagulants.

It plays a crucial role in preventing other conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Furthermore, it helps manage unstable angina and non-Q-wave myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) when used concurrently with aspirin. It is also beneficial in managing acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), including patients who are being medically managed or those undergoing subsequent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

You must always consult your doctor for the correct dosage and frequency. It is essential to notify your doctor about any pre-existing diseases or ongoing medications before you start using this medicine. If you notice any side effects while on this medicine, alert your doctor immediately.

Antixa 40 MG Injection 0.4 ML is used for the following conditions:

Preventing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a condition where blood clots form in the deeper veins of your body, usually in the legs
Managing pulmonary embolism (PE), which occurs when a blood clot gets lodged in an artery in the lung, blocking blood supply to lung tissue
Reducing the risk of unstable angina, which can cause chest pain and discomfort due to reduced blood flow to the heart
Addressing non-Q-wave myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), where part of the heart muscle has died due to insufficient blood supply
Managing acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), a severe type of heart attack caused by prolonged blockage of blood supply in the heart

Interrupts Blood Coagulation Cascade: By enhancing the inhibition of factor Xa and thrombin, enoxaparin interrupts the blood coagulation cascade, thus preventing the formation of blood clots.
