LONOPIN PEN – 1 PEN WITH 8 NEEDLES AND 8 ALCOHOL SWABS

Description

LONOPIN PEN contains enoxaparin sodium, an anticoagulant that prevents the formation of harmful blood clots. It is commonly prescribed for patients undergoing surgery, those with certain medical conditions that increase the risk of blood clots, and for the management of existing clots. The pen is designed for subcutaneous injection, providing a simple and effective way to administer medication without the need for additional tools.

Usage Instructions:

Prepare the Injection Site: Select an injection site on your abdomen, at least 2 inches away from the navel. Clean the area with an alcohol swab.
Remove the Cap: Take off the protective cap from the pen to expose the needle.
Inject the Medication: Pinch the skin around the injection site and insert the needle at a 90-degree angle. Press the button on the pen to deliver the medication.

Medicinal Advantages:
Effective Anticoagulation: Reduces the risk of clot formation and helps in the management of existing clots.
Convenient Self-Administration: The pen design allows for easy self-injection, improving patient compliance.
Rapid Onset: Provides quick therapeutic action, making it suitable for acute management of clotting conditions.
Mechanism of Action:
LONOPIN PEN works by inhibiting factor Xa and factor IIa (thrombin), which are essential in the coagulation cascade. By doing so, it effectively reduces the ability of the blood to clot, thus preventing the formation of clots in the veins and arteries.

Post-Surgical Prophylaxis: May be used to prevent clot formation in patients recovering from major surgeries.
Management of Atrial Fibrillation: Can be part of the treatment strategy for patients with atrial fibrillation to reduce stroke risk.
