Is Enoxaparin Injection Effective In Treating Pulmonary Embolism?

good morning I am going to Australia in a couple of weeks and was diagnosed with PE in January 2014 after returing fro australia. I was on warfarin for 6 months and all was good. I am travelling to aus again in a couple of week and asked GP if I should have an injection before each of my long haul flights. my GP prescribed 2 x 40mg enoxaparin injections and wanted to know if these are OK as its not the same injections I used back in 2014??
