What is Lonopin Injection?

Lonopin Injection is an anticoagulation that doctors recommend for treating and preventing dangerous blood clots. Not only it cures the pre-existing clot from getting bigger, but it also prevents the formation of any new clot. It helps in avoiding clot formation in your veins. This state is called pulmonary embolism or thrombosis.

The doctor or the nurse injects this medicine under your skin. However, it is not injected into a muscle. Moreover, how many doses or up to how many months you need medication solely depends upon your condition. It also depends on how you respond to the medicine and how well you are recovering.

If the doctors recommend continuing it even if you notice any symptoms, you must do it because it prevents future harm. So if you stop taking it, you could undergrow a blood clot. Further, when you take medicines, try and avoid things that might increase your bleeding or injury.
