I have problem with widened veins. I think that widened veins are a consequence of my genetic predisposition and extra weight. Problems with veins started after my second pregnancy. For a long time I have been taking Coumadin and since I have to go to hysterectomy and doctor recommended me to take Lovenox before the procedure. Is Coumadin similar to Lovenox?

Coumadin is very similar to Lovenox, they have similar effects, even though they do not have the same chemical structure. They are both anticoagulatives, so you do not have to worry about your operation. Lovenox is just more in the use in hospitals than Coumadin. Possible side effects are also similar and the most dangerous one is bleeding.
