Apr 7, 2012 do you mean why can't a student give lovenox? what reading have you done about not just the drug itself but about various types of strokes and cardiac issues? lovenox is not a drug one gives casually or without being very very well versed in because of why it is given, side effects towatch for, how fragile your patients are...
SHHIYD 9 Posts Apr 7, 2012 Oh no heparin and lovenox in the same drug class but we can give heparin iv but can't give lovenox iv !!What is the reason ??
