Contraindications/Warnings: 

Boxed warning:

patients receiving enoxaparin who undergo neuraxial anesthesia (spinal/epidural) or spinal puncture are at risk of developing an epidural or spinal hematoma, which can result in long-term or permanent paralysis this risk is increased with concomitant use of other anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, indwelling epidural catheters, or a history of spinal deformity or surgery (see the "Spinal/epidural hematomas" side effect listed below). Contraindicated in patients with active major bleeding, a history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) with a positive antiplatelet antibody test in the presence of enoxaparin, and known hypersensitivity to enoxaparin, heparin, or pork products enoxaparin is derived from porcine intestinal mucosa, which is clinically relevant for patients with religious/dietary restrictions or a specific allergy. Use with caution in patients with prosthetic heart valves, as enoxaparin is not well studied and has been associated with valve thrombosis in some pregnant women with mechanical heart valves.
