What Is The Dosage Of Clexane?

Hi my 86 year old husband is on 2 x 20ml Clexane for a blood clot in his upper thigh. I usually inject him in the stomach at 9.30 am then again at 9.30 pm. I am wondering if it would be alright on occasions to vary the times to e.g 6.30pm then 6.00am. I am concerned that at some point of the time change the injection would be less than 12 hours apart.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I would not be worried, but I would recommend that you find a time of the day where you can reliably give the medicine and then again 12 hours later, instead of shifting back and forth.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
