Pediatric Low Dose Enoxaparin Dispensing

Forums: 

We are looking for recommendations or best practices for dispensing of low dose enoxaparin for patients that will ultimately transfer to home based therapy.

Typically when faced with small dose volumes, we compound a dilution within the pharmacy to make measuring small doses more precise. With our enoxaparin patients, this has proven problematic as they discharge to home. Writing discharge prescriptions for a compounded enoxaparin dilution is problematic on multiple fronts and has lead to dosing errors in the past.
