Lomovian 20mg Injection

Prescription Required

Product introduction

Lomovian 20mg Injection is an anticoagulant used to prevent and treat harmful blood clots. It stops the existing clots from getting any bigger and restricts the formation of any new clot. It is also helpful in the prevention of blood clots in veins, a condition called deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism.

Lomovian 20mg Injection is an anticoagulant which helps prevent the formation of harmful blood clots in the legs, lungs and heart. It is available as an injection that is used under the skin. It can increase the risk of bleeding, so be careful while shaving, cutting nails, using sharp objects or engaging in contact sports (e.g. football, wrestling). Let your doctor know if you see blood in your vomits, urine or stool (black or tarry). Unlike other anticoagulants, regular blood test (PT-INR) is not required while taking this medicine. It is important that this medicine should be strictly taken according to the doctor’s advice, and should not be stopped abruptly.

Benefits of Lomovian Injection

In Treatment and prevention of Blood clots

Lomovian 20mg Injection prevents new blood clots from forming and prevents the existing ones from getting bigger. It works by blocking a substance in the body which is involved in blood clotting. Thus it helps your blood flow smoothly throughout the body. This can help reduce damage caused by clots in your lungs (pulmonary embolism), brain (stroke), heart (heart attack), or other blood vessels (thrombosis). It can also be used to prevent clots from forming after surgery, for example, to replace a knee or hip joint. Although it does not “dissolve” blood clots, it can prevent them from getting bigger so your body can dissolve them over time. It can also make it less likely that parts of a clot will break off and travel to other parts of the body.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

FAQs

How do you administer Lomovian 20mg Injection?

Lomovian 20mg Injection is a medicine which is injected beneath the skin. Fix the dose of the medicine and pinch the skin of your stomach between your finger and thumb to make a fold. After having cleaned the area, hold the syringe like a pencil and insert the full length of the needle into the skin fold. Inject the medicine and discard the syringe as instructed by your prescribing physician. Follow the instructions given by the healthcare provider strictly. Contact your doctor in case of any doubt or any reactions associated with the medicine.

What are the conditions where I should be cautious before taking Lomovian 20mg Injection?

You must give a proper history to your doctor before you start taking Lomovian 20mg Injection. Inform your doctor if you have a heart valve fitted or have gastric ulcer, high blood pressure, diabetes, or kidney problems. You should also let your doctor know if you ever had a reaction to heparin or had a recent stroke, brain or spinal surgery. The chances of side effects and complications increase in presence of these conditions. Consult with your doctor and follow the instructions strictly.

How to store Lomovian 20mg Injection injections?

Discard the injection if you notice any particulate matter or abnormal color in the solution or any damage in the syringe. Read the medicine package leaflet before using this medication and ask the pharmacist in case of any doubt.

Can Lomovian 20mg Injection be used in heart attack?

Yes, Lomovian 20mg Injection is used in the treatment of chest pain and heart attack once the standard treatment has been provided to the patient.
