Description:
Dabigatran Etexilate 110mg is an oral direct thrombin inhibitor used as an anticoagulant (blood thinner) to prevent and treat blood clots. It is commonly prescribed for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF), as well as for the treatment and secondary prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).
As a prodrug, Dabigatran Etexilate is converted in the body to its active form, Dabigatran, which inhibits thrombin, the enzyme responsible for converting fibrinogen to fibrin in the coagulation cascade. This reversible anticoagulant offers predictable pharmacokinetics and does not require routine INR monitoring, making it a convenient alternative to warfarin.

- Proven treatment and prevention of DVT and PE
- No need for regular blood test monitoring
- Predictable anticoagulant effect with fixed dosing
