Dabigatran 150mg Capsules

Buy Dabigatran 150 mg Capsules online. Each capsule contains 150 mg of dabigatran etexilate (as mesilate), an anticoagulant (blood thinner) used to prevent stroke in people with atrial fibrillation and to prevent and treat harmful blood clots. It contains the same active ingredient as the reference brand Pradaxa. In the USA, UK and Australia it is a prescription medicine, so a valid prescription is needed for your order.

The 150 mg capsule is the standard full dose for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation and for treating and preventing blood clots. Approved uses and legal status differ between countries, so this page covers the USA, UK, Australia, the UAE and Russia.

How it works

Dabigatran etexilate is a pro-drug that the body converts into dabigatran, a direct thrombin inhibitor. Thrombin is the enzyme that turns fibrinogen into fibrin, the main protein in a blood clot. By blocking thrombin, dabigatran makes clots less likely to form in the veins or in the heart. It does not dissolve existing clots, and it can be reversed in an emergency with idarucizumab (Praxbind).

Stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation: dabigatran 150 mg twice a day lowers the risk of stroke and systemic blood clots in adults with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.

Treating and preventing blood clots: after at least five days of an injectable anticoagulant, 150 mg twice a day is used to treat deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, and to prevent them returning. Your prescriber chooses the right strength for you.

The UK product information describes one 150 mg capsule twice a day (300 mg a day) for atrial fibrillation and for treating and preventing clots after at least five days of parenteral anticoagulant treatment. The US label describes the same 150 mg twice a day for atrial fibrillation with normal or mildly reduced kidney function.

Swallow capsules whole with a full glass of water, with or without food, about 12 hours apart. A lower dose is used for people aged 80 or over, those taking verapamil and in kidney impairment, as decided by the prescriber. Always follow the leaflet in the pack and the advice of your prescriber or pharmacist.

Storage Instructions

Keep the capsules in their original blister pack or bottle to protect them from moisture, following any instructions on the pack. Do not transfer them to a pill organiser. Keep out of the reach of children and do not use after the expiry date.

• Bleeding, including nosebleeds, bleeding gums and easy bruising
• Indigestion, heartburn or stomach pain
• Nausea
• Diarrhoea
• Anaemia (feeling tired or pale)
• Blood in urine or stool
• Heavier or longer periods in women
• Skin rash or itching
• Raised liver enzymes on blood tests

Seek urgent medical help for heavy or uncontrolled bleeding, black or bloody stools, vomiting blood, a severe headache, sudden weakness or confusion after a fall or blow to the head, chest pain, difficulty swallowing, or swelling of the face, lips or throat. Tell any doctor or dentist that you take an anticoagulant before any procedure.

• Bleeding risk: dabigatran can cause serious or fatal bleeding. Do not use if you have active bleeding or a high risk of it.
• Do not stop suddenly: stopping early raises the risk of a stroke or blood clot. The US label carries a boxed warning on this. Only stop on your prescriber's advice.
• Spinal or epidural procedures: blood clots around the spine can cause paralysis after a spinal puncture or epidural. Tell your doctor you take dabigatran.
• Kidney function: dabigatran is cleared mainly by the kidneys. It is not suitable in severe kidney impairment, and your kidney function should be checked at least once a year.
• Interacting medicines: do not use with ketoconazole, itraconazole, ciclosporin or dronedarone. Avoid rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin and St John's wort. Verapamil, amiodarone and quinidine change the dose.
• Mechanical heart valves: dabigatran must not be used in people with mechanical heart valves.
• Capsules must stay whole: never open, crush or chew the capsules, as this greatly increases the amount absorbed. Swallow with water.
• Stomach upset: indigestion is common. Take the capsule with a full glass of water, and tell your doctor about severe stomach pain or black stools.
• Storage in the original pack: keep capsules in the original blister or bottle to protect them from moisture, and do not use a pill box.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: avoid in pregnancy and while breastfeeding unless your doctor decides otherwise.
• Allergy: do not use if you are allergic to dabigatran or any ingredient.
