Benefits of Lmwx Injection
In Treatment and prevention of Blood clots
Lmwx 60 Injection prevents new blood clots from forming and prevents the existing ones from getting bigger. It works by blocking a substance in the body which is involved in blood clotting. Thus it helps your blood flow smoothly throughout the body. This can help reduce damage caused by clots in your lungs (pulmonary embolism), brain (stroke), heart (heart attack), or other blood vessels (thrombosis). It can also be used to prevent clots from forming after surgery, for example, to replace a knee or hip joint. Although it does not “dissolve” blood clots, it can prevent them from getting bigger so your body can dissolve them over time. It can also make it less likely that parts of a clot will break off and travel to other parts of the body.

Contact your doctor in case of any doubt or any reactions associated with the medicine.
What are the conditions where I should be cautious before taking Lmwx 60 Injection?
You must give a proper history to your doctor before you start taking Lmwx 60 Injection. Inform your doctor if you have a heart valve fitted or have gastric ulcer, high blood pressure, diabetes, or kidney problems.
