Bigatra 75 mg Tablet

Bigatra 75 mg Tablet is a prescription anticoagulant tablet that contains 75 mg of dabigatran etexilate in each tablet. It belongs to the blood thinner class used to help prevent harmful blood clots and to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in certain patients. Bigatra 75 mg Tablet may also be prescribed for other clot-related conditions when a doctor decides this strength is appropriate. Because it affects how the blood clots, it should be taken exactly as directed.

How it works: Dabigatran etexilate is a prodrug that the body converts into dabigatran, which directly blocks thrombin, a key enzyme your body uses to form blood clots. In tablet form, Bigatra 75 mg Tablet provides a measured dose that helps reduce clot formation when taken regularly as prescribed.

Bigatra 75 mg Tablet is a lower-strength dabigatran tablet that doctors may choose for patients who need a smaller dose because of age, kidney function, bleeding risk, or other medical factors. Compared with the 110 mg and 150 mg tablets, this strength provides less dabigatran per tablet, so it is not interchangeable unless a clinician specifically changes the dose. It is meant for patients already assessed by a prescriber, not for starting or adjusting on your own.

• Stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation
• Prevention and treatment of blood clots

• Take it at the same times each day if your prescriber has given you a regular schedule.
• You may take it with or without food unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Do not stop taking Bigatra 75 mg Tablet suddenly without medical advice, because clot risk can rise.

Each Bigatra 75 mg Tablet provides 75 mg of dabigatran etexilate per tablet. The exact number of tablets and how often you take them depends on the condition being treated, your kidney function, age, and bleeding risk, and your doctor will decide the dose schedule. Do not exceed the prescribed total daily amount, and do not change the dose to or from the 110 mg or 150 mg strengths without medical guidance.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
