Follow your local guidelines. Always. Not all areas of the world are the same.

Recent studies showed no difference in mortality between prophylactic use of anticoagulant or not. However, if you want to use prophylactic anticoagulant, you can use other LMWH or direct oral anticoagulants if Lovenox is unavailabe. Contraindications of these are the same as the general contraindications.
