Uses of Exowin 60mg Injection

Treatment and prevention of blood clots

Medicinal Benefits of Exowin 60mg Injection

ENOXAPARIN treats and prevents the formation of new blood clots. ENOXAPARIN injection prevents forming new blood clots and prevents the existing ones from growing larger in size. ENOXAPARIN works by blocking a protein in the body which is involved in blood clotting. Thus it drives a smooth flow of blood throughout the body. This also reduces the injury caused by clots in your lungs (pulmonary embolism), brain (stroke), heart (heart attack), or other blood vessels (thrombosis). It can also be used to prevent the formation of clots in people who have undergone surgery, for example, to replace a knee or hip joint. It stops the growth of clots into bigger sizes but does not help to dissolve blood clots. It restricts the breaking of clots and blocks them to travel to other parts of the body.
