Hi

For patients prescribed doses less than 20mg but greater than 10mg, the 20mg/0.2mL preparation of clexane should be used to prepare a concentration of 20mg/1.0mL.

1.Draw 0.8mL of normal saline (0.9% NaCl) into a 2 mL syringe.

2.Inject Enoxaprin 20mg/0.2mL directly into normal saline syringe, making a total volume of 1mL.

3.This equals a concentration of 20mg/1mL.

4.From the 2mL syringe withdraw dose required with a 1mL syringe.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
Dr.Saranya Ramadoss, General and Family Physician
