A member asked:
If i switched to heparin instead of the lovenox (enoxaparin) would there be any difference?

Use caution: If you have had spinal surgery and wish to switch ask you doctor and be very careful as some studies have shown a slight increase risk of bleeding at the surgery site with use of lovenox (enoxaparin).

Similar but....: Heparin and Lovenox (enoxaparin) work by basically the same mechanism. The main difference is how they are administered. For heparin, you have to have an IV and it is given as a continuous infusion. Lovenox (enoxaparin) is given as an injection. Both are reversible, but Heparin is easier to stop.
