Available only by prescription, Lovenox® (enoxaparin sodium) is used to prevent and treat blood clots, as well as to prevent complications after certain heart-related events. This medication is a low molecular weight heparin medication and works by slowing down formation of blood clots so that the body can break them down naturally. Although most people tolerate Lovenox well, it is not suitable for everyone. For example, you may not be able to use this blood thinner if you have kidney disease or high blood pressure.
