A member asked:

My wife had 3 miscarriages. 1. ectopic 2. low lying 3. unknown reason by 2.5 months. she is pregnant for 6 weeks. what is effect of lonopin 20mg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lonopin: Lonopin g is a low-molecular weight Heparin (an anticoagulant). The reason she was given this may be b/c a common cause of multiple miscarriages is an antibody - known as "lupus anticoagulant." the name is a misnomer - it does not mean she has lupus and it is actually a pro-coagulant, not an anti coagulant. Hence the use of the low dose anti-coagulant therapy. Lonopin doesn't cross the placenta.
