What Is Enoxaparin Sodium

Enoxaparin sodium is a low molecular weight heparin used as an anticoagulant for the prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. Enoxaparin sodium is a white or almost white powder, odorless, hygroscopic, easily soluble in water, insoluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. It has a strong negative charge in aqueous solution and can combine with some cations to form a molecular complex. The aqueous solution is more stable at pH 7.
