Improve Safety With Injectable Anticoagulants

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

These subcutaneous “low-molecular-weight heparins” (LMWHs) are routinely used in the hospital to prevent and treat blood clots.

But LMWHs are “high-alert” meds...meaning even small errors can cause significant patient harm. Plus it can be tricky to remember how to dispense these products correctly.
