LMWHs like enoxaparin are often used as?

  1. Monotherapy for hypertension

  2. Bridge therapy during warfarin interruption

  3. First-line treatment for diabetes

  4. Antidote for heparin overdose

The correct answer is: Bridge therapy during warfarin interruption

One of the main uses of LMWHs like enoxaparin is as a bridge therapy during warfarin interruption. This means that it is used to continue anticoagulation treatment when a patient temporarily needs to stop taking warfarin, such as before a surgery. It is not used as a monotherapy for hypertension, as there are other more effective medications for that purpose. LMWHs are also not typically used as first-line treatment for diabetes. Additionally, they are not an antidote for heparin overdose, but rather a related type of medication to heparin. Therefore, the correct answer is B Bridge therapy during warfarin interruption.
