About Enoclot 60 mg Injection

Enoclot 60 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 is a mass of blood that forms when platelets, proteins, and cells in the blood stick together. A blood clot can occur in any body part, leading to a heart attack, stroke, and organ damage (even coma or death).

Enoclot 60 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. On the other hand, it inhibits the formation of new blood clots in your blood.

Side effects of Enoclot 60 mg Injection include increased liver enzymes, skin rash (hives, urticaria), itchy red skin, bruising or pain at the injection site, and headache. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.
