question about lovenox....

[ccguido]

Hi,

Not sure what thread to put this in so here it goes.. I have to give a family member sub q injections of Lovenox

after a gastric bypass procedure that is be done in the near future. I have done some homework to research the medication and have a question that repeated web searches have not found an understandable explanation :

what is the Mean peak anti-Factor Xa activity as it relates to determining the therapeutic level of Lovenox?

I am a medic that is familiar with PT and PTT parameters. But I have not heard of the Anti factor Xa.

Thank you

Chris
