Enoxaparin and Potassium: what the published research says

PubMed indexes 4 records that name Enoxaparin and Potassium together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.

Read this first

An evidence index, not guidance.

Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.

This page lists published research relevant to Enoxaparin and Potassium. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.

The research

4 studies naming Enoxaparin and Potassium.

Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.

A Prospective Analysis of Potential and Observed Drug-Drug Interactions, Adverse Events and its Associated Risk Factors in Hospitalized Cardiology Patients in Benin.

Current drug safety · 2020 · PMID 32564759

Observational StudyHuman subjects

“This study highlights the need to optimize treatments by strictly regulating blood pressure, serum sodium and potassium levels, coagulation parameters and looking for clinical signs of hemorrhage. Physician should be aware of certain drug associations that may carry a risk of severe adverse events.”

Allabi et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names Enoxaparin and Potassium together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.

Variations of serum potassium level and risk of hyperkalemia in inpatients receiving low-molecular-weight heparin.

European journal of clinical pharmacology · 2003 · PMID 12851802

Clinical Trial

“Short-term treatment with low-molecular-weight heparin induces a significant increase in serum potassium level but the related incidence of relevant hyperkalemia is low. However, given the high absolute number of patients currently exposed to the risk in many clinical settings and the limitation of risk prediction, clinicians should prevent this life-threatening complication by a high index of suspicion and, accordingly, a quite routine monitoring of serum potassium.”

Gheno et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names Enoxaparin and Potassium together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.

Hyperkalemia secondary to concurrent pharmacotherapy in a patient receiving home parenteral nutrition.

JPEN. Journal of parenteral and enteral nutrition · 1996 · PMID 8950745

Case ReportsHuman subjects

“Practitioners should be aware of the potential for octreotide and heparin to cause hyperkalemia. Regular monitoring of serum potassium concentrations should be done for patients receiving octreotide and heparin to avoid hyperkalemia.”

Brown et al. · From the abstract

Names Enoxaparin and Potassium together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.

Limitations

What this evidence cannot tell you.

Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:

NutriStack

Track what you actually take.

NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Enoxaparin, Potassium, and several hundred other substances.

The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
