Committee Recommendations
East Surrey / SASH local recommendation:
Inhixa is the preferred brand of enoxaparin at Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHST trust. Enoxaparin is a biological medicine and must be prescribed by brand in line with MHRA guidance.
See Inhixa communication document for GPs below
North West Surrey / ASPH local recommendation:
Ashford & St Peter's Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust are changing the brand of enoxaparin from Clexane to Inhixa (equivalent biosimilar product).
Enoxaparin is a biological medicine and must be prescribed by brand in line with MHRA guidance.
There are limited indications for which enoxaparin should be prescribed in primary care but, where indicated, North West Surrey in conjunction with ASPH are recommending that practices change to using the Inhixa® brand for all new initiations to support patient safety.
