The dose of Clexane (enoxaparin) is usually selected individually by the doctor based on body weight and clinical indications. A dose of 40 mg twice a day is more commonly used in the treatment of thrombosis rather than standard prophylaxis, and can be relatively high in a person weighing 50 kg.
It is safest to confirm the dosage with a doctor who knows the full picture of the patient's health to avoid the risk of bleeding. Do not change the dose yourself or stop treatment without consultation.
