Enoxaparin - MOA Enoxaparin joins with antithrombin III (ATIII) to form a complex  Enoxaparin thereby inhibits the subsequent step in the cascade, the generation of thrombin and other changes The enoxaparin-ATIII complex also prevents thrombin’s amplification effects on factor XIII, thus preventing stabilization of the clot. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Enoxaparin in DVT Prophylaxis Average duration: 7 -10 days  30 mg q12h SC; initiate 12-24h postop In patients undergoing knee replacement surgery 3 weeks post discharge 40 mg qid SC Extended prophylaxis in hip replacement Average duration: 7 -10 days  Upto 14 days 30 mg q12h SC; initiate 12-24h postop 40 mg qid SC; initiate 12h postop In patients undergoing hip replacement surgery average duration: 7-10 days  40 mg qid SC; initiate 2h postop In patients undergoing abdominal surgery DURATION DOSAGE
Enoxaparin  - Therapy in acute DVT with or without PE continue enoxaparin for a minimum of 5 days and until a therapeutic oral anticoagulant effect has been achieved (INR 2.0 to 3.0). 1 mg/kg q12h SC initiate warfarin sodium therapy when appropriate (usually within 72h of enoxaparin administration For patients who can be treated at home for acute DVT without PE average duration: 7 days  1.5 mg/kg qd SC or 1 mg/kg q12h SC at the same time every day. For hospitalized patients with acute DVT with or without PE DURATION DOSAGE
Enoxaparin - UA and non-Q MI minimum 2 days; usual duration  of therapy: 2 to 8 days 1 mg/kg q12h SC with oral aspirin therapy (100 to 325 mg once daily) For the prevention of ischemic complications of unstable angina and non-Q-wave myocardial infarction (MI) when concurrently administered with aspirin DURATION DOSAGE

Editor's Notes

  1. During the acute phase, all eligible patients were treated with aspirin and were then randomized to double-blind, double-dummy treatment either with UFH for a minimum of 3 days beginning with a bolus of 70 units/kg and an initial infusion of 15 units/kg/hour to target aPTT of 1.5-2.5 x control (coordinated through an unblinded third party) or enoxaparin given as an intravenous bolus of 30 mg followed by subcutaneous injections of 1 mg/kg every 12 hours. Enoxaparin was administered for at least 24 hours before any coronary interventional procedure and ended at hospital discharge or day 8 whichever came first. The primary efficacy endpoint was a composite of all cause mortality, recurrent myocardial infarction based on standard ECG and serum marker criteria, and urgent revascularization defined as an episode of recurrent angina prompting revascularization on the index hospitalization or on readmission. The primary safety endpoint was major bleeding resulting either in death, a bleed in a retroperitoneal, intracranial, or intraocular location, a hemoglobin drop of at least 3 grams/deciliter or the requirement of transfusion of at least 2 units of blood. As specified in the protocol, patients who completed the acute phase were excluded from enrollment in the chronic phase if they underwent bypass surgery, had no clinically significant coronary artery disease, sustained a major hemorrhage, developed severe thrombocytopenia, or had an indication for chronic anticoagulation. During the chronic phase of the trial, patients who had originally been assigned to IV UFH received placebo subcutaneous injections. Those patients originally assigned to enoxaparin received twice daily subcutaneous injections of 40 mg for those patients weighing less than 65 kg and 60 mg for those weighing at least 65 kg. Double-blind chronic phase therapy continued through day 43. About 60% of patients in both treatment groups progressed to the chronic phase. The major reasons for not entering the chronic phase were referral for a revascularization procedure, adverse event, and patient preference.
