how and where do you normally give injectable coumadin?
i'm wondering if you're actually referring to lovenox subq (generic name: enoxaparin injection) because to my knowledge there is no patient-injectable form of the drug coumadin (generic name: warfarin). both warfarin and enoxaparin are blood thinners. blood thinners are used to prevent blood clots. however warfarin has a wider range of uses than enoxaparin. enoxaparin is normally used for a short period of time to prevent blood clots in people who are on bed rest or who are undergoing joint replacement surgery. enoxaparin is provided to the patient as a single-dose injection in a syringe. normally you inject enoxaparin into the fatty tissue in the area around the belly button. these injections aren't very painful because the needle is so tiny. if you were given a lovenox prescription but were not taught how to perform the injection please speak to your pharmacist. he or she can s how you exactly how to inject the enoxaparin correctly. good luck to you! i was taking coumadin orally but while i was on coumadin threapy i developed a blood clot in my left leg. so i was found to be non-theraputic by a doctor and placed on lifetime lovenox. is it possible to transition back to coumadin therapy after an extended period of lovenox therapy?
