Information about transitioning patients from low molecular weight heparin to XARELTO® (rivaroxaban), or from XARELTO to low molecular weight heparin.

I’ve been on Lovenox throughout my pregnancy and will be switching to heparin once I hit 36 weeks. I had been told by a PA in my first trimester that my OB might want to induce me to time an epidural. I waited until my 28 week appt to breach...

The clinical rationale to use enoxaparin 60 days post CF-LVAD implantation is due to the fact that heparin has a shorter half-life making it a more attractive option to prevent compounded peri-operative bleeding.

Weight-based, fixed-dose, unmonitored subcutaneous unfractionated heparin administered twice daily found to be equivalent to low molecular weight heparin for treatment of DVT and PE.

The pharmacological approach involves using an array of drugs including intravenous anticoagulants (e.g. heparin, low‐molecular‐weight heparin, nafamostat mesilate, argatroban and citrate), oral anticoagulants (warfarin) and antiplatelet agents, as well as coagulation monitoring (activated coagulation time or activated prothrombin time).
