PRADAXA

Pradaxa (dabigatran) belongs to a class of anticoagulant medications called direct thrombin inhibitors. Dabigatran works by preventing blood clots from forming in the body.

Pradaxa is used to treat blood clots deep in the body (deep vein thrombosis, DVT) and lungs (pulmonary embolism, PE) in adults who have received blood thinners by injection for 5 to 10 days.

Pradaxa is used to treat blood clots in children aged 3 months to less than 18 years of age who have been treated with an injectable blood thinner for at least 5 days.

Pradaxa is used in adults and children aged 3 months to less than 18 years of age to lower the risk of a blood clot coming back after receiving treatment for blood clots.

Pradaxa is also used after hip replacement surgery to prevent a blood clot deep in the body (deep vein thrombosis, DVT) or lungs (pulmonary embolism, PE).

Pradaxa is also used to lower the risk of stroke and blood clots in adults with atrial fibrillation (a heart rhythm disorder). This medicine is used when the atrial fibrillation is not caused by a heart valve problem.
