Mechanism of action

Enoxaparin is a low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) derived from unfractionated heparin. It works by potentiating antithrombin III, which inactivates coagulation factors Xa and IIa, thereby preventing thrombus formation. High-dose formulations are used in acute thrombotic conditions requiring more intensive anticoagulation.
