Is there an alternative to Lovenox?
Research published in JAMA Network Open suggested that oral apixaban (Eliquis) is a safe potential alternative to subcutaneous enoxaparin (Lovenox) for thromboprophylaxis in women undergoing surgery for gynecologic cancer.
What is the difference between LMWH and UFH?
Compared with UFH, the LMWH enoxaparin binds less avidly to plasma proteins, and therefore has increased bioavailability and duration of action. When coupled with antithrombin III, enoxaparin has weaker activity against thrombin, but unlike UFH, it has more potent inhibition of factor Xa.

Is Plavix an antiplatelet?
Clopidogrel (brand name Plavix) is an antiplatelet medicine. This means it reduces the risk of blood clots forming. Normally, when there is a cut or break in a small blood vessel, a blood clot forms to plug the hole until the blood vessel heals. Small cells in the blood called platelets cause the blood to clot.
