This drug may also be used for other types of knee surgeries or to treat blood clots. Notes Laboratory tests will be done periodically while taking this medication to monitor its effects and to prevent side effects. Storage Store this medication at controlled room temperature 59 to 77 degrees F (15 to 25 degrees C). Do not freeze. How To Use HOW TO USE THIS MEDICATION: This medication is administered by injection under the skin (subcutaneously), by a health care professional usually twice a day following surgery. Injection sites will be rotated to limit irritation. Therapy with this medication may be continued for 7 to 14 days or until the risk of blood clot formation is limited. Do not inject into a muscle (intramuscularly). Properly discard used syringes and needles. Side Effects Irritation, pain, tenderness and redness may occur at the site of injection. Nausea or swelling of the hands or feet may also occur. If these effects continue or become bothersome, inform your doctor. Notify your doctor if you experience fever, mental confusion, unusual bruising or bleeding or black stools. If you have had a spinal procedure along with this drug, promptly report weakness, numbness or pain.
