How Safe Is Taking Clexane Injections For Deep Vein Thrombosis?
Last week I had a suspected DVT and was given Clexane injections. On Day 3 I developed an allergic reaction and was itching all over my tummy. I was given a different medication for 2 days. After a scan and no DVT found no more medication. But am still itching. It is covering alot of my body now and driving me mad. Is there anything I can take or put on it to relieve symtoms. Have tried Piriton.

Dear Sir/ Madam
1. It is a standard practice to prescribe Clexane (Enoxaparin) or Clexane like drugs in suspected cases of DVT.
2. The treatment options for allergic reaction include Anti-histamines both H1 and H2 blockers combined, steroids and in very severe cases resulting in shock, adrenaline is also used. However, best judge is your local physician. One must avoid repeat exposure to inciting agent.
