Enoxaparin is a low molecular weight heparin used as an anticoagulant to prevent and treat blood clots. It is typically administered via subcutaneous injection and prescribed for conditions such as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. The term combines a brand-like, chemically descriptive root with the -parin suffix common to heparin derivatives. In medical contexts, precise pronunciation aids clear communication among clinicians and patients alike.
