Product Information

What is Dabigatran Etexilate 110mg?

Dabigatran Etexilate 110mg is an oral anticoagulant medicine designed to prevent blood clots from developing inside blood vessels.

Blood clot formation is a natural protective process, but abnormal clots can block blood flow and may lead to serious complications such as:

• Stroke
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Pulmonary embolism (PE)
• Other cardiovascular complications

Dabigatran Etexilate works by reducing the activity of thrombin, an enzyme responsible for converting fibrinogen into fibrin during clot formation.

How Dabigatran Etexilate 110mg Works

Dabigatran Etexilate is a direct thrombin inhibitor.

It works by:

• Blocking thrombin activity
• Reducing fibrin formation
• Preventing blood clot development
• Helping maintain smoother blood flow

Unlike traditional anticoagulants that affect multiple clotting factors, Dabigatran directly targets thrombin, making it a targeted anticoagulant therapy.
