Where is the correct site for Lovenox injection? During my recent hospitalization I was given Lovenox.?

Yes the nurses were correct. Lovenox, or enoxaparin, is to be administered subcutaneously, and the abdomen is the preferred site as that is where most people have a good amount of adipose tissue. The nurses were correct in rotating the site, eg from left to right, up and down.
