Clexane injection is known to contain enoxaparin which is beneficial for stopping formation of blot clots within blood vessels. Mostly this injection is administered to treat blood clots in veins, lungs, in coronary arteries in unstable angina, and blood clotting in artificial kidney machine. Clexane is administered under the abdomen skin and the dose generally depends on the nature of the clot.

Hi lybrate user, don't worry about sonography report. Please continue all the medications as per your obstetrician advice I st trimester sonography is showing risk for iugr and pre-eclampsia but to decide these factors ideally 15-16wk scan is best.

Probably you have developed a deep vein thrombosis of the leg veins in the postoperative period. You can request for a second physicians opinion for its treatment.

Hi, I am aged 39 and 17 weeks pregnant. My uterine artery flow mean is 2:25. My ultrasould report states 'persistently restricted uterine artery flow with some interval reduction in flow impedance' I have been prescribed Clexane 0.6 injections daily for 3 weeks. The leaflet says it should be taken on the tummy. I read online that it is not licenced for use by pregnant females in UK. My questions are: Is it a good idea to take it in my condition? Should a pregnant woman take it on her tummy or should it be taken elsewhere? Please advise.
