Every day: I am assuming you are on clexane (called Lovenox (enoxaparin) in the us) because of a blood clot in your leg. You have to use it daily. If you delay a day, the clot can become bigger. Worse, it might break off and lodge in your lung, which can be deadly. Please call your doctor about this. Good luck.
