About Dynalix 40 mg Injection

Dynalix 40 mg Injection is used to prevent or treat blood clots caused by medical conditions, such as unstable angina, after an operation or long periods of bed rest due to illness, after a heart attack, and the formation of blood clots in the dialysis machine tubes.

A blood clot can occur in any body part, leading to a heart attack, stroke, and organ damage (even coma or death).

Dynalix 40 mg Injection contains Enoxaparin, which is a low molecular weight heparin that works by preventing existing blood clots from growing larger, allowing your body to break them down and prevent them from harming you.
