What is Pradaxa, and what is it used for?
Pradaxa (dabigatran etexilate) is an oral anticoagulant, or blood thinner, approved by the FDA. Its primary use is to lower the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AFib). It is also prescribed to help prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) following hip replacement surgery. Pradaxa works by directly inhibiting thrombin, a key enzyme in the blood clotting process. It is important to note that Pradaxa is not intended for use in patients with mechanical heart valves. The medication comes in capsule form and can be taken with or without food, as directed by a healthcare provider.
