clexane is low weight molecular heparin. What is considered a prophylactic doseage will depend on the physician & the diagnosis. Generally it's 25-40mgs by subcutaneous injection daily.
ETA: I haven't read the link I will do that after hell hour...
Just an aside - women on LWMH -or clexane will have a managed 3rd stage due to the risk of PPH... Just something that you may not or your client may not have considered. I will try and find some substantiated literature on that for you.
