Lovenox Reviews
Working / Worked
I am taking lovenox because I will be having two ovarian cysts removed this month. Notrouble with injecting the meds. I just have a alergic reaction to the meds it self. But I have to stay on it so the Dr. is giving me benidrill for the itch. I have to put up with it for three more weeks. But overall I find the meds. to work well. And I do not have to have my INR check every week

I was scared to death of give my self shots 3 times a day. It was Terrifying. It did its job, but in the end I switched to Coumadin.

Took the shots in the hospital as well, I guess the Doc decided not to send me home with them, which was fine with me. The thoughts of giving myself shots scares me.
