About this product
Overview
Noxane 40mg Injection contains the active ingredientEnoxaparin Sodium. It is a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) anticoagulant used to prevent and treat various thromboembolic disorders. Enoxaparin works by inhibiting certain clotting factors, particularly Factor Xa, thereby preventing the formation of blood clots.
Uses
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Prophylaxis: Noxane 40mg Injection is indicated for preventing deep vein thrombosis in patients undergoing surgery, especially orthopedic procedures like hip or knee replacement.
- Treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis: It may also be used to treat deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
- Unstable Angina and Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Enoxaparin is sometimes used in combination with aspirin for the treatment of unstable angina and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).
Mechanism of Action
Enoxaparin enhances the activity of antithrombin III, a natural anticoagulant in the body, which in turn inhibits the activity of Factor Xa and thrombin. By blocking these clotting factors, Enoxaparin prevents the conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin, thereby reducing blood clot formation.
Dosage and Administration
- The dosage of Noxane 40mg Injection and the duration of treatment depend on the patient’s weight, renal function, and the specific indication being treated.
- It is administered subcutaneously, usually in the abdomen, using a fine needle or pre-filled syringe.
- Injection sites should be rotated to prevent irritation or bruising.

- Patients receiving treatment with Noxane 40mg Injection should be monitored regularly for signs of bleeding and thrombocytopenia.
