Prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Also used for VTE prophylaxis in surgical patients and those at risk due to immobility or other factors.
As a low molecular weight heparin, it binds to antithrombin III and enhances its activity, primarily inhibiting Factor Xa (anti-Xa activity) with less anti-IIa (thrombin) activity compared to unfractionated heparin.
Administered by subcutaneous injection. Monitor for bleeding complications and use with caution in patients with renal impairment, history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, or active bleeding. Requires appropriate patient selection and monitoring.
