Noxane 40mg (PFS)
Noxane 40mg (PFS) contains Enoxaparin Sodium, a low molecular weight heparin used to treat and prevent harmful blood clots in veins and arteries.
Overview
Noxane 40mg (PFS) is a prescription anticoagulant injection containing Enoxaparin Sodium. Manufactured by Ferozsons, it is formulated to prevent and treat deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and blood clots associated with unstable angina or heart attack.

Key Benefits of Noxane
Helps prevent the formation of dangerous blood clots in deep veins.
Reduces the risk of pulmonary embolism in post-surgical or bedridden patients.
Assists in managing acute coronary syndromes, including unstable angina and certain heart attacks.
Comes in convenient pre-filled syringes designed for accurate administration.
Prevents blood clot formation in the extracorporeal circulation during hemodialysis.
Noxane Ingredients and Usage
Noxane 40mg contains Enoxaparin Sodium, an active substance belonging to the class of medicines called low molecular weight heparins (LMWH). It exerts an antithrombotic effect by inhibiting specific blood clotting factors, mainly factor Xa, thereby helping to keep blood flowing smoothly through the circulatory system.
This medication is indicated for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing orthopedic or general surgery, as well as in medical patients restricted to bed due to acute illness. It is also prescribed to treat established DVT and pulmonary embolism (PE), and to prevent clot formation during hemodialysis.
In cardiology, Noxane 40mg is used alongside other therapies to manage unstable angina and non-Q-wave myocardial infarction, as well as acute non-ST-segment elevation or ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
How Does Noxane Work?
Enoxaparin Sodium works by binding to antithrombin III, a naturally occurring protein in the body. This interaction accelerates the inhibition of blood coagulation factors, primarily factor Xa and factor IIa (thrombin).
By selectively neutralizing these clotting factors, Noxane prevents the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin. This process stops new blood clots from forming and prevents existing blood clots from growing larger, allowing the body to naturally dissolve them over time.
How to Use Noxane
Noxane 40mg is administered as a subcutaneous injection into the fatty tissue of the abdominal wall, or intravenously by a trained healthcare professional during certain heart procedures or hemodialysis. Do not inject it into a muscle.
Your healthcare provider will determine the exact injection technique, site rotation, and duration of therapy based on your medical condition. Always follow your doctor's instructions carefully when administering this medication.
Complete the full course prescribed by your physician even if you feel better. Do not stop taking this medication abruptly without consulting your healthcare provider.
Noxane Side Effects
Like all medications, Noxane 40mg can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Inform your healthcare professional promptly if you notice any new or worsening symptoms.
Mild bleeding or bruising at the injection site
Pain or irritation where injected
Thrombocytopenia (low blood platelet count)
Elevated liver enzymes in blood tests
Headache
Skin rash or itching
Warnings
Noxane increases the risk of serious bleeding events; report any unusual bleeding or bruising to your doctor immediately.
Spinal or epidural hematomas may occur in patients receiving neuraxial anesthesia or spinal puncture while on enoxaparin, which can result in long-term or permanent paralysis.
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a potentially severe immune-mediated reaction that requires immediate medical evaluation and discontinuation of therapy.
Do not use this product if you have active major bleeding or a high risk of uncontrollable hemorrhage.
Precautions and Who Should Avoid It
Inform your doctor if you have a history of bleeding disorders, stomach ulcers, recent stroke, or uncontrolled high blood pressure.
Patients with severe kidney or liver impairment require careful monitoring and potential dosage adjustments by their physician.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding before starting treatment with Noxane.
Notify your surgeon or dentist that you are using Noxane prior to any scheduled surgical or dental procedures.
Drug and Food Interactions
Combining Noxane with oral anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents like aspirin or clopidogrel, or thrombolytic drugs increases the risk of severe bleeding.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or diclofenac may enhance the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding when used alongside Noxane.
Systemic corticosteroids may increase the likelihood of bleeding complications when taken concurrently.
Noxane Storage Conditions
Store Noxane 40mg Pre-filled Syringes in their original packaging as directed on the label, away from excessive heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Do not freeze. Keep all medicines out of the reach and sight of children.
