Will Taking Clexane Be Safe For Vein Stripping In Left Leg ?

Hello. I started taking Clexane 40mg on the 25 October, 9 days ago. I had vein stripping in me left leg on the 24 October. I'm supposed to inject myself with 40mg once a day/once every 24 hours. I just cant remember if I injected one today or not. Should I inject one now just in case I forgot or should I wait till tomorrow. I dont know what to do? Please advice. Thank you

Hello,
Thank you for using healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
I think it is better to inject one right now than to miss a dose.
The risk of missing a dose is greated than the risk of doing double dose of Clexane.
