lovenox vs arixtra

t take Lovenox. I use one called Arixtra, when I need it. Both Lovenox and Arixtra are shots that you give yourself at home. Arixtra is a once-a-day injection; I'm not sure if Lovenox is given once a day or twice a day. A doctor or nurse can show you how to give yourself the shots. The injection will make a blue spot under your skin that looks like a bruise, but it is not painful.

Yes, I got them from various chemo treatments and hormones. I eventually had a tulip filter put in my lungs to keep them out. I was on Lovenox and Arixtra treatments for a long time but eventually stopped awhile ago. Your SIL can manage it, but needs to keep careful check on it. What does her doctor say?

I was put on Warfarin but had to discontinue because it made my INR (clotting time) too high. I was put on Lovenox subcutaneous injections, then Arixtra subcutaneous injections for about a year after that. In the meantime, I had Taxotere and Doxil, which did not work, so I went on Femara (I am low grade, too). Tamoxifen was not even considered for me because there is an indication for blood clots while on it.

i am 28 years old and i have 4 years old boy and i am TTC for 1yearswith med (serophene,gonalf,profasi) then iui all the 6 of them faild then my dr told me that is the time to move for ivf he gave me last monday an injuction called arixtra he told me this the start of ivf medication that he can can control my ovulation he gave me told me to see him on aug 30 does that injuction stops my period to come because i am 4 days late i did HPT and its NEGATIVE what does that injuction do with ivf?

Hi there. Went today for my 31 week appt and my ob had mentioned that we switch from lovenox to heparin at about 36 weeks. I'm on lovenox for factor 5 with history of a blood clot. She also then recommended induction at 39 weeks.... the heparin would be a good idea if an epidural was needed/wanted but it's more cost and twice a day rather than once. I'm really focused on a natural delivery but understand that plans can change suddenly.

to a main arterial area, scaring them that these could move/shift and become DVT type clots. She told me I had to IMMEDIATELY go on 10mg injections of Arixtra blood thinner for 14 days, and said at the end of 14 days another ultrasound will be done to see what has happened to the clots during that time. Arixtra isn't a clot dissolver from what I've read - it's only going to prevent new clots and perhaps prevent movement of what's there.

i think it best if you add lovenox or heparin as one of the tags ? Cause when i was searching for a group like this i just typed in lovenox .

Is there any correlation of becoming extremely ill on the first day of or day before onset of the menstrual cycle to Hughs Syndrome or Multiple Sclerosis? My daughter had a blood clot in her brain 4 years ago which was reversed by Lovenox and Heparin; this was just hours prior to her cycle beginning. She has since been diagnosed with MS, even though her labs clearly reflected antiphospholipin syndrome.

I was recently diagnosed with a Pulmonary Embolism after being rushed into L&D unable to breathe. I was prescribed Lovenox by injection twice daily. The prescribing DR knows I'm now 34 weeks pregnant, but when I read the drug disclosure inside the box it states clearly NOT TO BE USED DURING PREGNANCY, CAN CAUSE GASPING SYNDROME & FETAL DEATH.

I am getting ready to start my 2nd chemo with doxil and a trial drug and still do not have a port. I've done 4 carbo/taxol treatments and have not had any problem with my veins but have heard (from the clinical trial nurses) that doxil is more caustic and that a port really would be best. Also, if I do get the new drug, I will be receiving it 3 times a week weeks 1 and 3 as well. Meanwhile, my doctor says, we can place the port later...

I also have the same issue. My IGM first came back borderline and then the 2nd 2 tests were just slightly positive. I don't have any history of miscarriages. I'm on 40mg Lovenox a day and have been spotting brown blood for past 2 weeks. I have heard Lovenox causes bleeding. I don't think I need to be on Lovenox. My Rhemetologist said some docs would think Lovenox is necessary while other docs would think I wouldn't need Lovenox.

Anyone taking Lovenox? Im 9 weeks and between the lovenox and the prenat vit I feel groggy all the time..just wondering if lovenox makes you feel bad..

I was put on Lovenox and a baby aspirin 2 weeks prior to miscarrying. The Doctor seems to think that when we get pregnant again that I can get on Lovenox and baby aspirin when i'm 7 weeks pregnant and that the pregnancy will be a healthy succuessful one. I'm just wondering has anyone else had a successful pregnancy taking Lovenox? Just really nervous and have alot of questions now. Should I go ahead and take the baby aspirin now or wait? The Doctor says we can try again in October.

I had an ablation last week and am doing well, but am very beat up (low energy, black and blue, sore throat from TEE and polka dot bruises from Lovenox). My question is how long a time period is it usual to be on Lovenox? My doctor has said a full month. From my research, other than pregnant women, for all other conditions it says 2 weeks or less. I can't take coumadin due to a severe reaction to it.

I am pregnant. Well 9 weeks to be exact. I am on lovenox because of blood clot. How about you? and how do you feel?

The last time I had Lovenox was one year ago and I was at 2.6 when I started the Lovenox. At that time I quit taking coumadin until after the procedure. The day after the procedure, I started up on coumadin and continued to taking the Lovenox until I was therapeutic again (between 2-3 INR). You stated that you were worried about the AFib. I assume you were referring to AFib while you are off coumadin and on Lovenox. I wouldn't worry about that.

1) Have you ever heard of lovenox injections to prevent further clots in stents and 2) what are the risks from lovenox to her relatively healthy kidneys (after 30+ yrs of diabetes)? Thank you for your good advice. You were the only Dr. who said E.R.

Anyone on Lovenox... Will the burning ever go away? Any advice of where to do the injections. My love handles are so soar and its only been a week.

So I'm going on a daily dose of Lovenox, and I have to have hydroxyprogesterone weekly. I'm getting nervous not so much for me but my fiancé. He takes great care of me and idk if it's hormones but now with baby #2 being a girl it's a risk I may genetically passed or will pass my high blot clot risk to her. What if she has miscarriage problems or risks having going into labor early. I worry about my son too- I just found this information out today.

I am 22 and I have had three miscarriages in the past year. I've never gotten past 6 weeks. My doctor did a batch of bloodwork on me, as well as shooting dye into my uterus and tubes. Everything in my blood work came back fine, except I have MTHFR, which is a blood clotting disorder. We finally feel ready to try again. My doctor gave me a prescription for Lovenox 40mgs once a day. Plus I'm on Folic Acid. Has anyone taken this and had a sucess story?

Hi girls. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on Lovenox? My RE is putting me on it with this next positive pregnancy. We just ran another series of blood tests and one came back positive for blood clotting. He said this particular type of clot would is associated with second or third trimester losses, whereas all four of my mc have been around five weeks. But he said it is reason enough to do Lovenox. I don't know how long I would have to take it.

Hi I just did my first lovenox injection and think I might not be doing it right. I really had to push very hard for the needle to go in then it stopped about a third of the way and I had to jam it in the rest of the way. does this sound right? I have plenty of fat so it's not as if I got held up on muscle or anything.

Has anybody used the blood thinner lovenox? My doctor put me on it for the whole pregnancy. I just forbid out I was carrying 4 days ago. I'm very nervous because I've had 3 miscarriages before this.
