Improve Safety With Injectable Anticoagulants

Questions still come up about properly dispensing injectable anticoagulants (enoxaparin, dalteparin, etc) for blood clots.

Patients are getting these subcutaneous “low-molecular-weight heparins” (LMWHs) less often...now that direct oral anticoagulants (apixaban, rivaroxaban, etc) are usually preferred.

So when injectable blood thinners are needed, it can be tricky to remember how to dispense them correctly.
