• CUTENOX 40MG/0.4ML INJECTION is a low molecular weight heparin that plays a crucial role in preventing and treating blood clots. It achieves this by interacting with antithrombin, a natural protein in the body that inhibits clot formation. When CUTENOX 40MG/0.4ML INJECTION binds to antithrombin, it significantly enhances antithrombin's ability to block the activity of certain clotting factors, particularly factor Xa.
• Factor Xa is a key component in the coagulation cascade, a series of events that lead to the formation of blood clots. By inhibiting factor Xa, CUTENOX 40MG/0.4ML INJECTION effectively slows down the clotting process, preventing the formation of unwanted clots. This mechanism of action makes it valuable in preventing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and other thromboembolic disorders.
• The targeted action on factor Xa, compared to unfractionated heparin, results in a more predictable anticoagulant effect and a reduced risk of certain side effects, such as heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). CUTENOX 40MG/0.4ML INJECTION is typically administered via subcutaneous injection and its dosage is carefully determined based on individual patient factors and the specific clinical indication.

• CUTENOX 40MG/0.4ML INJECTION will be administered to you by a qualified healthcare professional in a hospital or clinical setting. This ensures the injection is given safely and effectively.
• Typically, CUTENOX 40MG/0.4ML INJECTION is administered intravenously, meaning it's injected directly into a vein. The healthcare provider will carefully select a suitable vein for the injection.
• The exact dosage, route of administration (e.g., intravenous or subcutaneous), and frequency of injections will be determined by your doctor. These decisions are based on several factors, including your specific medical condition, its severity, your overall health, and how you respond to the medication. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions precisely.
• Do not attempt to self-administer CUTENOX 40MG/0.4ML INJECTION. It requires specialized knowledge and equipment to administer correctly and safely. Always consult with a healthcare professional for any questions or concerns about your treatment plan.
