Study this LMWH (Enoxaparin) NCLEX mnemonic and other mnemonics with Pixorize. Low molecular weight heparins are a heparin derivative that include the drugs enoxaparin, fondaparinux, and dalteparin. They are used to prevent blood clots, especially in post-surgery patients who are at an increased risk of DVTs due to limited mobility. Low molecular weight heparins are considered safer than normal or unfractionated heparin, although potential side effects include a lowered platelet count or thrombocytopenia as well as bleeding.
