Generic and brand-name pricing for Enoxaparin Sodium is broken out in the tables above where both exist in our data. Generic versions are typically the lower-cost option, but availability depends on the specific formulation and dosage.

Enoxaparin is the generic name for the medication. It is manufactured by several companies, including Fresenius Kabi, Teva, and Sandoz. The original brand-name version is Lovenox. Both the generic and brand-name forms are FDA-approved and used to prevent dangerous blood clots.

Enoxaparin is an injectable anticoagulant, or blood thinner, prescribed to prevent clots from forming. It is frequently used after major surgeries like abdominal, hip, or knee replacements. It is also indicated for patients who are bedridden due to a severe illness and are at high risk for clots. The medication works by inhibiting a key protein involved in the clotting process. While often started in a hospital setting, patients may be instructed on how to self-administer injections for a period after being discharged.

Local reactions at the injection site, such as redness, pain, itching, or a small lump, are very common and usually resolve within a couple of days. Other frequently reported side effects include nausea, diarrhea, fever, swelling in the extremities, and anemia. Because enoxaparin prevents clotting, bleeding is a potential and significant side effect that requires monitoring. Allergic reactions are rare but possible. Some patients may also experience confusion or other changes in mood or mental state.
