Lovenox is an anticoagulant medication that is administered via the subcutaneous route. The medication is injected at the anterior lateral abdominal wall (ALAW), usually once or twice a day, or as directed by the physician. The administration site is changed for every injection, between right and left ALAW, to prevent bruising and bleeding.
