About Cutenox 20 Injection

Cutenox 20 Injection is used to prevent or treat blood clots caused by medical conditions, such as unstable angina, after an operation or long periods of bed rest due to illness, after a heart attack, and the formation of blood clots in the dialysis machine tubes. A blood clot is a mass of blood that forms when platelets, proteins, and cells in the blood stick together. A blood clot can occur in any body part, leading to a heart attack, stroke, and organ damage (even coma or death).

Cutenox 20 Injection contains Enoxaparin, which is a low molecular weight heparin that works by preventing existing blood clots from growing larger, allowing your body to break them down and prevent them from harming you. On the other hand, it inhibits the formation of new blood clots in your blood.

Cutenox 20 Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Side effects of Cutenox 20 Injection include increased liver enzymes, skin rash (hives, urticaria), itchy red skin, bruising or pain at the injection site, and headache. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, report to your doctor immediately. 

If you are known to be allergic to Cutenox 20 Injection or any other medicines, inform your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before receiving the Cutenox 20 Injection . Also, disclose to your doctor if you have any pre-existing medical conditions like a stomach ulcer, recent surgery of the brain or eyes or spine, recent bleeding stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, or recent onset of stroke or kidney or liver disorders. Also, let your doctor know if you are underweight or overweight or if you have high levels of potassium in your blood.

Side effects of Cutenox 20 Injection 0.2 ml
  • Managing a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) caused by medication usage requires a multi-step approach. Here are some steps to help manage the condition:
  • Inform your doctor about your low platelet count and medication usage. They will assess the situation and guide the best course of action.
  • Your doctor may recommend adjusting or stopping the medication that is causing a low platelet count. This could involve switching to alternative medication or reducing the dosage.
  • Monitor your platelet count regularly through blood tests to track any changes. This will help the doctor determine the effectiveness of the treatment plan.
  • If an underlying condition, such as infection or inflammation, contributes to the low platelet count, your doctor will treat it.
  • In some cases, alternative treatments like platelet transfusions or medications that stimulate platelet production may be necessary.
  • Avoid risky activities and certain medications; eat a balanced diet with plenty of water to reduce bleeding risk and boost overall health.
  • If you experience severe bleeding or bruising, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
  • Follow a balanced diet by including fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
  • Increase fibre intake as it aids toxin removal.
  • Avoid processed foods and sugary drinks.
  • Aim for moderate-intensity exercise for most days of the week.
  • Quit smoking, as it can worsen liver health.
  • Manage stress with meditation or yoga.
  • Monitor liver function through regular blood tests.
  • Consume more fruits, vegetables, and cruciferous foods like cabbage, kale, and broccoli.
  • Reduced alcohol intake can enhance liver enzyme function.
  • Oxidative stress can be managed by eating foods rich in antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E.
  • Liver function tests regularly can help manage increased levels of AST.
Overcome Medication-Induced Nausea: A 9-Step Plan
  • Inform your doctor about the nausea and discuss possible alternatives to the medication or adjustments to the dosage.
  • Divide your daily food intake into smaller, more frequent meals to reduce nausea.
  • Opt for bland, easily digestible foods like crackers, toast, plain rice, bananas, and applesauce.
  • Avoid certain foods that can trigger nausea, such as fatty, greasy, spicy, and smelly foods.
  • Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broth, or electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or sports drinks.
  • Use ginger (tea, ale, or candies) to help relieve nausea.
  • Get adequate rest and also avoid strenuous activities that can worsen nausea.
  • Talk to your doctor about taking anti-nausea medication if your nausea is severe.
  • Record when your nausea occurs, what triggers it, and what provides relief to help you identify patterns and manage your symptoms more effectively.
Here are the precise steps to cope with diarrhoea caused by medication usage:
  • Inform Your Doctor: Notify your doctor immediately about your diarrhoea symptoms. This allows them to adjust your medication or provide guidance on managing side effects.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to replace lost water and electrolytes. Choose water, clear broth, and electrolyte-rich drinks. Avoid carbonated or caffeinated beverages to effectively rehydrate your body.
  • Follow a Bland Diet: Eat easy-to-digest foods to help firm up your stool and settle your stomach. Try incorporating bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, plain crackers, and boiled vegetables into your diet.
  • Avoid Trigger Foods: Steer clear of foods that can worsen diarrhoea, such as spicy, fatty, or greasy foods, high-fibre foods, and dairy products (especially if you're lactose intolerant).
  • Practice Good Hygiene: Maintain good hygiene to prevent the spread of infection. To stay healthy, wash your hands frequently, clean and disinfect surfaces regularly, and avoid exchanging personal belongings with others.
  • Take Anti-Diarrheal Medications: If your doctor advises, anti-diarrheal medications such as loperamide might help manage diarrhoea symptoms. Always follow your doctor's directions.
  • Keep track of your diarrhoea symptoms. If they don't get better or worse or are accompanied by severe stomach pain, blood, or dehydration signs (like extreme thirst or dark urine), seek medical help.
  • Apply pressure for 5-10 minutes to reduce bleeding.
  • Apply cold compresses or ice packs for 15-20 minutes, repeat every few hours.
  • Consult the doctor and use antihistamines if advised to minimise injection site reaction.
  • Use pain relief medication, like acetaminophen if recommended by the doctor, but avoid NSAIDs if bleeding is a concern.
  • Rotate injection sites and use proper needle size and technique if you are self-administering the medication.
  • Monitor signs such as increased pain, redness, warmth, or pus, and seek medical attention if symptoms worsen.
  • Injection site reaction can include numbness or redness.
