Klexane (Enoxaparin Sodium)

Enoxaparin sodium, the active ingredient in Klexane, is a low molecular weight heparin presented as a sterile solution for subcutaneous, intravenous and haemodialysis use. It is employed to prevent and treat venous thrombo‑embolism in a variety of clinical settings.
GNH India supplies Klexane as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals worldwide.

Indications & Clinical Uses

Klexane, a low molecular weight heparin, is used in several thrombo‑embolic conditions:

  • Deep vein thrombosis (post‑surgical): prevents clot formation in patients undergoing orthopedic or abdominal surgery.
  • Acute deep vein thrombosis: treats existing clot by inhibiting further propagation.
  • Pulmonary embolism (prevention and treatment): reduces risk of embolic events in at‑risk patients.
  • Haemodialysis anticoagulation: maintains circuit patency during dialysis sessions.
  • Acute coronary syndrome (prevention of clot formation): limits thrombus growth after cardiac ischemic events.

How It Works

  • Enoxaparin sodium binds to antithrombin III, accelerating its inhibition of activated factor Xa and, to a lesser extent, factor IIa (thrombin). This selective blockade reduces thrombin generation and fibrin clot formation, providing anticoagulation while preserving a more predictable pharmacokinetic profile than unfractionated heparin.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

  • Injection site pain or bruising: mild discomfort at the administration site.
  • Minor bleeding: such as gum or nosebleeds.
  • Nausea or headache: transient and usually self‑limiting.
  • Dizziness: occasional light‑headed sensation.
  • Elevated liver enzymes: mild, reversible changes.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe bleeding: gastrointestinal, intracranial or surgical site hemorrhage.
  • Heparin‑induced thrombocytopenia (HIT): immune‑mediated platelet drop with paradoxical clotting.
  • Allergic reactions: rash, urticaria or anaphylaxis.
  • Spinal or epidural hematoma: risk after neuraxial procedures.
  • Liver dysfunction: significant elevation of transaminases.

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Klexane, consider the following precautions:

  • Renal impairment: adjust dose or monitor anti‑Xa activity.
  • Surgery or invasive procedures: discontinue appropriately to lower bleeding risk.
  • Concomitant antiplatelet therapy: increased potential for bleeding.
  • History of heparin‑induced thrombocytopenia: avoid use.
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding: use only if clearly indicated.
  • Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

Avoid Interactions

Klexane may interact with several medicines. Monitor patients closely.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent therapeutic anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin, DOACs): risk of severe bleeding.
  • Spinal/epidural anesthesia or puncture: may cause hematoma.
  • High‑dose NSAIDs: amplify bleeding tendency.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Antiplatelet agents (aspirin, clopidogrel): increased bleeding risk.
  • SSRIs or SNRIs: potential for enhanced hemorrhage.
  • ACE inhibitors in renal impairment: monitor renal function and anti‑Xa levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Klexane contains enoxaparin sodium, a low molecular weight heparin indicated for prevention of deep vein thrombosis in surgical patients, treatment of acute DVT, prevention and treatment of pulmonary embolism, anticoagulation during haemodialysis, and prevention of clot formation in acute coronary syndrome.

Enoxaparin sodium binds to antithrombin III, markedly enhancing its inhibition of factor Xa and, to a lesser extent, factor IIa (thrombin). This reduces thrombin generation and fibrin clot formation, providing anticoagulation with a predictable dose‑response relationship.

The dose of Klexane is individualized by the prescribing clinician based on the specific indication, patient weight, renal function and any concurrent therapies. Only a qualified healthcare professional should determine the appropriate regimen.

Safety of enoxaparin sodium in pregnancy and lactation has not been fully established. It may be used only when the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision should be made by the treating physician.

To order Klexane, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including cold‑chain where required) and import documentation.

Compared with unfractionated heparin, Klexane (enoxaparin) offers more predictable anticoagulant effects, a longer half‑life, and does not require routine laboratory monitoring in most patients. It also has a lower risk of heparin‑induced thrombocytopenia but is renally cleared, so dose adjustment may be needed in kidney impairment.

Klexane should be stored at 2‑8 °C in a refrigerator, protected from light. Do not freeze or shake the vial. If temporary storage at room temperature is unavoidable, limit exposure to less than 24 hours and keep the product in its original packaging.

Klexane is administered by subcutaneous injection, intravenous infusion, or through the haemodialysis circuit, depending on the clinical indication. Injection technique and site rotation are important to minimise local reactions, and infusion rates should follow the prescribing information.

The most serious risks include severe or uncontrolled bleeding, heparin‑induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), and spinal or epidural hematoma after neuraxial procedures. Patients should be monitored for signs of bleeding, sudden platelet count drops, or neurological symptoms, and therapy should be stopped immediately if these occur.

Klexane is contraindicated in patients with active major bleeding, severe thrombocytopenia, a known history of heparin‑induced thrombocytopenia, uncontrolled hypertension, or hypersensitivity to enoxaparin or any component of the formulation. Use in these populations should be avoided.
