What is Pradaxa used for?

Pradaxa contains dabigatran, a blood thinner that blocks thrombin, a protein the body uses to form clots. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), Pradaxa capsules are used:

• To lower the risk of stroke and blood clots in adults with atrial fibrillation (AFib) that is not caused by a heart valve problem.
• To treat deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) in adults who have had 5 to 10 days of an injected blood thinner, and to lower the risk of DVT and PE coming back.
• To prevent DVT and PE in adults after hip replacement surgery.
• To treat blood clots (venous thromboembolism) in children 8 to less than 18 years old after at least 5 days of an injected blood thinner, and to lower the risk of these clots coming back.

Pradaxa comes as 75, 110 and 150 mg capsules. Most adults take it twice a day; after hip replacement it is taken once a day, and the 75 mg strength is labeled for people with reduced kidney function. The label has a boxed warning: ending treatment early raises the risk of blood clots, including stroke, and people who have spinal or epidural anesthesia or a spinal puncture while taking it can get bleeding around the spine that may cause long-term or permanent paralysis. Pradaxa oral pellets for children are a separate form and are not interchangeable with the capsules milligram for milligram. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
