Product Introduction
Lonopin 40mg Injection is an anticoagulant belonging to the low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) class. It contains Enoxaparin as the active ingredient. The injection is used to treat severe blood clots and to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) following abdominal surgery, hip replacement surgery, knee replacement surgery, and in patients with severe immobility. It also helps prevent further cardiac complications in patients with unstable angina and non-Q wave myocardial infarction. DVT prevention is a primary indication for Lonopin 40mg. When evaluating treatment options, healthcare providers may consider Lonopin alongside Clexane, as both are LMWH agents. The 40mg dosage is determined by a healthcare provider according to the patient's clinical condition. Pregnant patients may sometimes receive Lonopin 40mg, but only under close medical supervision due to associated risks and benefits. The medicine is contraindicated in patients with active bleeding, hypersensitivity to the drug, or allergies to the active compound, as well as those with a history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Inform your physician before receiving Lonopin 40mg Injection if you are allergic to Enoxaparin, heparin, benzyl alcohol, or pork products.
