17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION

If patients have had neuraxial anesthesia or spinal puncture, and particularly, if they are taking concomitant NSAIDs, platelet inhibitors, or other anticoagulants, advise them to watch for signs and symptoms of spinal or epidural hematoma, such as tingling, numbness (especially in the lower limbs) and muscular weakness. Instruct the patient to seek immediate medical attention if any of these symptoms occur.

Inform patients:

  • of the instructions for injecting enoxaparin sodium injection if they continue enoxaparin sodium injection therapy after discharge from the hospital.
  • that it may take them longer than usual to stop bleeding.
  • that they may bruise and/or bleed more easily when they use enoxaparin sodium injection.
  • that they should report any unusual bleeding, bruising, or signs of thrombocytopenia (such as a rash of dark red spots under the skin) to their physician [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1, 5.5) ]..
  • to tell their physicians and dentists they are taking enoxaparin sodium injection and/or any other product known to affect bleeding before any surgery is scheduled and before any new drug is taken [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1, 5.3) ].
  • to tell their physicians and dentists of all medications they are taking, including those obtained without a prescription, such as aspirin or other NSAIDs [see Drug Interactions ( 7) ].
