Lovenox (enoxaparin) is an anticoagulant that helps prevent the formation of blood clots.
Lovenox is used to treat or prevent a type of blood clot called deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which can lead to blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). A DVT can occur after certain types of surgery, or in people who are bed-ridden due to a prolonged illness.
Lovenox is also used to prevent blood vessel complications in people with certain types of angina (chest pain) or heart attack.
