Enoxaparin is a prescription medication used to prevent and treat blood clots. It is used to treat hospital patients who are on bed rest, who are about to have surgery, or who have complications from chest pain or heart attacks.  Enoxaparin can also be taken at home to prevent blood clots in the legs.  Enoxaparin belongs to a group of drugs call low molecular weight heparins or "blood thinners". It slows the formation of blood clots. This medication does not break down clots.

Enoxaparin comes in an injectable form to be injected under the skin (subcutaneously) or directly into a vein (IV).

Common side effects of enoxaparin include bleeding, fever, and nausea.
