Anticoagulants: Warfarin is a blood thinner in the form of a pill & usually takes 3 to 4 days to work wheras Lovenox (enoxaparin) is an injectable drug & it works right away.

See below: Both are blood thinners that act on different parts of the coagulation (clotting) pathway in our system, warfarin is oral and needs regular blood test to check if it is in a good level, avoid eating vitamin k rich foods like dark greens while on this med. Lovenox (enoxaparin) is injectable, dosing computed thru weight.
