After oral use, dabigatran etexilate is rapidly converted in the body to its active form dabigatran. It belongs to a group of medicines called anticoagulants. Some people refer to anticoagulant medicines as “blood thinners”. Dabigatran works by inhibiting a specific protein in the blood, called thrombin. Thrombin contributes to the formation of blood clots. Dabigatran prevents the formation of blood clots. Pradaxa has been prescribed to you for one of the following uses: • to prevent the formation of blood clots in the veins after knee or hip replacement surgery in adults • to reduce the risk of brain (stroke) and/or other body vessel obstruction by blood clot formation in adults with an abnormal heart beat rhythm called non-valvular atrial fibrillation • to treat blood clots in the veins of your legs and lungs and to prevent blood clots from re- occurring in the veins of your legs and/or lungs. ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THIS MEDICINE HAS BEEN PRESCRIBED FOR YOU. Leggi il documento completo
