Kaivexin-20 Injection 0.2 ml

Kaivexin-20 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).

Kaivexin-20 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.

Kaivexin-20 Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Side effects of Kaivexin-20 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.

A blood clot can occur in any part of the body, leading to a heart attack, stroke, and damage to organs (even coma or death). Blood clots can reach your arteries or veins in organs like the brain, kidney, heart, lungs, and limbs. Conditions like atherosclerosis, diabetes, heart failure, irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), and obesity/overweight can trigger excessive blood clotting in the brain and heart. On the other hand, deep vein thrombosis (blood clot in veins), peripheral artery disease (narrowed arteries due to fat deposit or blood clot), and atherosclerosis (fat built upon the walls of the arteries) can cause a blood clot in your limbs.
