For patients with normal renal function, enoxaparin dosing for treatment of VTE is 1 mg/kg subcut every 12 hours OR 1.5 mg/kg subcut every 24 hours.
Studies have evaluated dosing for patients weighing up to 190 kg and found the 1 mg/kg q 12 hours dose to be safe and effective. It can even be used for patients heavier than 190 kg, but anti-Xa monitoring is recommended.
