Working / Worked
only used for 7 days. left a huge bruise the size of my hand. but thats it
Working / Worked
As far as I know it's working. The only side effect I'veexperienced is occasional gas ad bruising.
Working / Worked
Fine other than needing twice daily shots.
As far as I know the shots worked but I did not like them at all. My poor body looks like it has been through a war after all the shots. I am black & blue and bruised all over. I have little burning sensation yet from time to time even. I am glad to be off of them and hope to STAY OFF of them.
Working / Worked
I was on 150 mg of Lovenox twice a day which required 2 shots twice daily while I was in the hospital. I received 22 shots during my hospital stay. At this point, the shots are stopped in favor of the Warfin.
Working / Worked
I learned how to give myself Lovenox shots while I was in the hospital and didn't like giving them to myself but apparently they worked to some extent because they let me go home! :)
Not sure this is the medicine I use, living in Sweden... I get warfarin, the medicin is called Waran here.
Working / Worked
I used this for approximately a week after being discharged until my INR was normalized. Now I feel like a pro at giving myself shots in the belly!
Working / Worked
The Lovenox worked while the Warfarin was taking affect. I became therapeutic a couple of days ago so I am no longer taking Lovenox
Working / Worked
On it in the hospital and week after. Gave myself shots (bruised like crazy!!!) but the treatment worked.

    You can inject over bruising or in the same place twice. It doesn't matter. During my second pregnancy, I did 9 shots of Heparin a day for the first... [More]
