Do I have to stop Clexane 40 mg slowly (gradually) or can I stop from day to day? The doctor prescribed me 2 packs (a total of 20 injections) but I have doubts whether it can be discontinued overnight? And if so, will it not be dangerous to my health? Thank you in advance for your reply

In general, you do not need to stop taking Clexane 'gradually', except if your doctor tells you for some reason. In general, the dose and number of injections are selected depending on the patient's weight and clinical situation (e.g. after surgery, due to immobilization). Your doctor will decide how long you should take Clexane, and you will stop taking Clexane after the last dose. I can present such information from a pharmaceutical point of view, but I do not know your health situation and I do not know whether after 20 injections you were supposed to end the treatment or, for example, come for a follow-up visit. If you would like to consult a doctor on this issue, I enclose a link to the teleconsultation: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja I enclose additional information about Clexane: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/18521/clexane-iniekcja/apteki and our studies that may be of interest to you: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/przewodnik-po-lekach-przeciwzakrzepowych https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czy-jak-i-kiedy-mozna-odstawic-leki
