What is the action of Lovenox?

Lovenox's mechanism of action Lovenox is a blood thinner containing a low molecular weight heparin. The drug binds and accelerates the activity of antithrombin III, an enzyme which causes blood to clot by acting on a blood protein called fibrinogen. It also inhibits coagulation factors Xa and IIa.

What is the difference between fractionated and unfractionated heparin?

Differences from heparin (i.e. "unfractionated heparin") include: The anticoagulant effects of heparin are typically reversible with protamine sulfate, while protamine's effect on LMWH is limited. LMWH has less of an effect on thrombin compared to heparin, but about the same effect on Factor Xa.

What does unfractionated heparin mean?

Unfractionated Heparin (UFH) is a fast-acting blood thinner that works together with antithrombin, a natural protein in the body, to block clot formation. As with all forms of heparin, UFH doesn't break down clots, but it keeps them from growing and stops new ones from forming.

How is Lovenox manufactured?

It is made from heparin by chemically breaking up the larger heparin chains into smaller fragments. The complex chemical features of enoxaparin are determined by both the qualities of the heparin and the chemical process used to cleave the heparin into enoxaparin.
