What Is Dabigatran 150mg?

Dabigatran (brand name Pradaxa) is a prescription anticoagulant in the direct thrombin inhibitor class. It reduces the blood's ability to form clots by blocking thrombin, an enzyme central to the clotting process. Unlike warfarin, dabigatran does not require routine blood-level monitoring or dietary vitamin K restrictions. It is taken as an oral capsule, typically twice daily, and is used to lower the risk of stroke and to treat or prevent dangerous blood clots.

Stroke and systemic embolism risk reduction in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation
Treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after initial parenteral anticoagulation
Treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE) after initial parenteral anticoagulation

Frequently Asked Questions

What is dabigatran used for?

Dabigatran (Pradaxa) is an anticoagulant used to reduce the risk of stroke in people with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and to treat and prevent deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. It works by blocking thrombin, a key enzyme in blood clot formation.

Do I need a prescription for dabigatran?

Yes, dabigatran is a prescription-only medication in the United States. A licensed healthcare provider must evaluate whether it is appropriate for you before it can be dispensed.

How does ordering and shipping work?

After you submit your prescription or complete a provider consultation, a licensed pharmacist reviews your order. Once approved, your medication ships directly from a licensed U.S. pharmacy to your address.

How should I take dabigatran 150mg?

Dabigatran is typically taken as one capsule twice daily, swallowed whole with a full glass of water, with or without food. Do not break, chew, or open the capsules, and do not stop taking it without speaking to your provider first.

Is dabigatran the same as warfarin?

No. Both are anticoagulants, but dabigatran is a direct thrombin inhibitor that does not require routine INR blood monitoring or vitamin K dietary restrictions. Your provider can advise which medication is right for your situation.

What should I do if I miss a dose of dabigatran?

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember on the same day, but skip it if your next dose is due in less than 6 hours. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

What are the main risks of taking dabigatran?

The most significant risk is bleeding, which can occasionally be serious. Contact your provider right away if you notice unusual bruising, blood in urine or stool, or prolonged bleeding, and never stop the medication abruptly without medical guidance.
