LOMOCARE-PEN 300MG/3ML – 1 PEN

LOMOCARE-PEN 300MG/3ML contains Enoxaparin, a low molecular weight heparin used to prevent harmful blood clots in patients after surgery or during periods of immobility. It helps manage the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, and other clot-related conditions. The pen’s pre-filled design ensures accurate dosing and ease of self-administration. Enoxaparin works by inhibiting clotting factors in the blood, which reduces the formation of clots and prevents existing ones from enlarging. LOMOCARE-PEN is suitable for patients who need continuous anticoagulation therapy, making it ideal for at-home use.

Usage Instructions:
Prepare: Clean the injection site (typically the abdomen) with an alcohol swab.
Inject: Remove the pen cap and inject subcutaneously as directed by your doctor.
Dispose: Discard the used pen safely in a designated sharps container.
Repeat: Follow the prescribed dosage schedule, usually administered once or twice daily.
Medicinal Advantages:
Prevents Blood Clots: Reduces the risk of DVT, pulmonary embolism, and stroke.
Convenient Dosing: The pre-filled pen ensures accurate and convenient dosing for at-home use.
Post-Surgery Protection: Protects patients from clot formation after surgeries or long periods of inactivity.
Mechanism of Action:
Enoxaparin, the active ingredient in LOMOCARE-PEN, works by inhibiting clotting factors, specifically Factor Xa, which plays a crucial role in the formation of blood clots. By blocking this factor, Enoxaparin prevents new clots from forming and stops existing clots from growing larger, thereby reducing the risk of serious complications like strokes or pulmonary embolism.

Off-Label Uses:
Prevention of Clots in Dialysis: Sometimes used in dialysis to prevent clot formation during treatment.
Prevention of Heart Attacks: Used in patients with unstable angina to lower the risk of heart attacks.
Expert Advice:
Rotate Injection Sites: Alternate between injection sites to avoid irritation or bruising.
Watch for Side Effects: Monitor for any signs of bleeding, such as nosebleeds or unusual bruising.
Avoid Other Blood Thinners: Consult your doctor before using other blood-thinning medications or NSAIDs.
Precautions:
Risk of Bleeding: Enoxaparin increases the likelihood of bleeding, so activities that may cause injury should be avoided.
Kidney Function: Patients with kidney issues may need adjusted dosages due to slower drug elimination.
Allergic Reactions: Avoid use if allergic to Enoxaparin or similar heparin-based medications.
Storage Conditions:
