You should ensure that the injection technique is correct. Never administer Lovenox intramuscularly. Do not expel air bubbles from the syringe. Use extreme caution in patients with a history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Remember that Lovenox is not interchangeable, unit for unit, with unfractionated heparin (UFH) or other LMWHs.
