Utilising their proprietary technology, CHEMI will produce the Enoxaparin Sodium injection within the proprietary manufacturing facilities situated in Italy.

The leading specialty pharmaceutical company owns the proprietary rights on a pharmaceutical product composed of preservative-free Enoxaparin Sodium single-use pre-filled syringes, according to the statement.

The Enoxaparin Sodium injection is used for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis or DVT in patients undergoing abdominal, hip, or knee replacement surgery. The injection is also given for the treatment of acute DVT. Enoxaparin acts as a blood thinner by producing an antithrombotic effect, added Cadila Healthcare in its statement. The injection had annual sales of approximately $513 million in the United States, according to IQVIA data as of June 2021.
