Dabipack 75 Capsule

Dabipack 75 Capsule is a prescription anticoagulant capsule that contains dabigatran etexilate 75 mg in each capsule. It belongs to the direct thrombin inhibitor class, which helps reduce the formation of harmful blood clots. Dabipack 75 Capsule is used to lower the risk of stroke and blood clots in certain people with atrial fibrillation, and it may also be used for treatment or prevention of clots in selected patients as directed by a doctor. Because it affects how blood clots, it must be used exactly as prescribed.

How it works: Dabigatran etexilate is a prodrug that changes in the body into dabigatran, which blocks thrombin, a key protein needed to make blood clots. In capsule form, Dabipack 75 Capsule is swallowed whole and then absorbed to provide anticoagulant effect.

Dabipack 75 Capsule is a lower-dose dabigatran etexilate capsule, so it may be chosen for patients who need a smaller dose because of kidney function, age, bleeding risk, or other medical factors. Since this is the only Dabipack strength sold in our range, it fits typical dosing only when a prescriber specifically selects 75 mg for that patient.

• Stroke prevention in non-valvular atrial fibrillation
• Prevention of blood clots in selected patients
• Treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in approved cases
• Treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE) in approved cases
• Prevention of recurrent DVT or PE

• Swallow Dabipack 75 Capsule whole with a full glass of water; do not open, crush, or chew the capsule.
• Take it at the same times each day to keep the effect steady.
• If your prescriber tells you to take it with food, follow that plan; otherwise it can be taken with or without meals.
• Do not stop Dabipack 75 Capsule on your own, even if you feel well, because clot risk can rise quickly.
• If you miss a dose and it is not close to the next one, take it as soon as you remember; do not double up unless your doctor or pharmacist instructs you.
• Keep the capsules in the original strip/box until use to protect them from moisture.

Each Dabipack 75 Capsule contains dabigatran etexilate 75 mg. The number of capsules per day depends on the condition being treated and on kidney function, age, and bleeding risk; some patients may take it twice daily, but the exact schedule is decided by the prescriber. There is no one-size-fits-all maximum for every use, so follow the doctor’s instructions exactly for this 75 mg strength.

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

Common side effects of Dabigatran Etexilate may include:

• Easy bruising
• Nosebleeds

• Heartburn
• Stomach pain
• Mild bleeding from gums

• Dabipack 75 Capsule can cause serious bleeding, so tell every healthcare provider, dentist, or surgeon that you take it.
• Use extra caution if you have kidney disease, since dabigatran levels can rise when kidney function is reduced.
• Do not take it with other blood thinners unless your prescriber specifically tells you to.
• Avoid over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or naproxen unless your clinician says they are safe, because they can increase bleeding risk.
• Limit alcohol if your prescriber advises it, since heavy drinking can raise bleeding and injury risk.
• Do not stop this medicine suddenly without medical advice, because the risk of clotting can increase.
• Be careful with activities that could cause cuts or falls, since even minor injuries may bleed longer.
