I believe what the injectable anti Xa Meds will have in their favor in the hospital setting are that they are not self administered and will be less expensive
i'm confused - no meds in the hospital are self administered in every hospital in which i have worked nurses bring in oral meds and watch the pt take the dose per protocol (one exception is if MD writes order allowing pts to take their own meds)
i also don't think oral Xa will be more expensive than lovenox - in fact should be far less expensive per day
