Dabifib 75 mg Capsule

Dabifib 75 mg Capsule contains 75 mg of dabigatran etexilate in each capsule. It is an anticoagulant, also called a blood thinner, used to help prevent and treat certain blood clots and to lower the risk of stroke in some people with atrial fibrillation. Dabifib 75 mg Capsule does not dissolve clots that already exist, but it helps stop new clots from forming and existing clots from getting larger. It is a prescription medicine and should be used exactly as directed by a healthcare professional.

How it works: Dabigatran etexilate is a prodrug that the body converts to dabigatran, which blocks thrombin, a key protein needed for blood clotting. By slowing thrombin, this capsule helps reduce the chance of harmful clots forming in the blood.

Dabifib 75 mg Capsule is a lower-strength capsule that may be chosen for people who need a smaller dabigatran dose because of kidney function, age, bleeding risk, or other medical factors. Compared with higher-strength dabigatran capsules, this 75 mg capsule delivers less medicine per dose, so a doctor may use it when a gentler anticoagulant dose is needed or when the overall dosing plan is adjusted carefully.

• Lowering stroke risk in non-valvular atrial fibrillation
• Treating deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Treating pulmonary embolism (PE)
• Preventing DVT and PE from coming back
• Preventing clots after certain medical situations when prescribed

• Swallow Dabifib 75 mg Capsule whole with a full glass of water.
• Do not open, crush, or chew the capsule, because that can change how much medicine is absorbed.
• Take it at the same time each day if your doctor prescribes it once or twice daily.
• You may take it with or without food, but taking it consistently the same way each day can help.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Keep the capsules in their original strip/box until use to protect them from moisture.

Each Dabifib 75 mg Capsule provides 75 mg of dabigatran etexilate per capsule. How often it is taken depends on the condition being treated and the patient’s kidney function, and the doctor may prescribe it once or twice daily as part of an individualized plan. Do not take more than prescribed; the exact daily dose is decided by the prescriber for this 75 mg strength.

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