What is the connection between lovenox (enoxaparin) and heparin?

Lovenox (enoxaparin): They are both forms of heparin. One is given iv, the other usually subcutaneously. Both have the same effects and risks. Lovenox (enoxaparin) is 20x more expensive.

See below: Lovenox (enoxaparin) is a form of Heparin called low molecular weight Heparin (lmwh). Lmwh has less risk than regular heparin, and only needs to be administered once or twice a day.

A smaller type: Lovenox (enoxaparin) is a smaller molecule version of heparin, and it helps to combat blood clots, like heparin; they are in the same family. Also, due to its slight differences in chemical structure, Lovenox (enoxaparin) doesn’t have as much risk for an allergic reaction called heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT).
