Male 64 had robotic prostatectomy as a day surgery. 120mg lovenox (enoxaparin) inj given 8hrs after surgery. pt died in 3 days. was 120mg an overdose in this case?

Too complex: Dose of Lovenox (enoxaparin) depends on the reason for administering the drug, and is sometimes dosed based on weight.

Lovenox (enoxaparin): Well, hard to say without knowing more. However, usually 40mg is given for DVT prophylaxis. A higher dose, 1mg/kg is used to treat someone who already has a blood clot. The dose he got was for a 120kg (264lbs) person that is being treated for a blood clot.
