Low molecular weight heparin names?

Common low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) names

Low molecular weight heparins are injectable anticoagulants. Common generic (and widely used brand) names include:

- enoxaparin (Lovenox)
- dalteparin (Fragmin)
- tinzaparin (Innohep)
- nadroparin (often available outside the US; brand examples include Fraxiparine)
- bemiparin (often available outside the US)
- reviparin (often available outside the US)

Are there other LMWH “names” people might see?

You may also encounter them listed by generic name plus strength (for example, enoxaparin “40 mg/0.4 mL” or “60 mg/0.6 mL”), or by different country brand names. The key identifier is the generic name (enoxaparin, dalteparin, tinzaparin, etc.).

How to make sure you’re looking at the right medicine

If you’re searching a prescription or medication label, check the active ingredient (generic name) rather than the brand. “Heparin” alone usually refers to unfractionated heparin, while “enoxaparin/dalteparin/tinzaparin…” are LMWHs.

If you tell me your country (or paste the medication label text), I can match the exact LMWH name(s) you’re likely seeing.
