Lovenox injections after surgery

[Lovechunks 18]

Did your insurance pay for these? i will need 10 40mg injections.

Thanks,

I took them for 3 weeks after surgery and my insurance paid for the generic of lovenox which is enoxaparin.

what are the injections for???

[Lovechunks 18]

Blood thinners- you give them to yourself in the stomach. Lovenox is said to be expensive.

oh, I had the injections while in hospital for 2 days, insurance did pay; I did not need after I went home.

Yes Im self pay and the dr. ordered Lovanox. It was $160!! That was for 40 of them though...I hated doing them twice a day, but in all actuality giving myself the injection wasn't as big of a deal as I thought it would be

If your BMI was over 50 it is commonly a post surgical Rx to avoid clots. I needed 30 days and self injected them (was easy). Insurance did pay for most (I had a copay.)

I have a 10 day supply. My co-pay was $7.00. Surgery Oct 28
