Dabipla 110 mg Capsule

Dabipla 110 mg Capsule is a prescription anticoagulant that contains 110 mg of dabigatran etexilate in each capsule. It belongs to the direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) class, also called a blood thinner, and is used to help prevent and treat harmful blood clots. Dabipla 110 mg Capsule may be prescribed for conditions such as atrial fibrillation-related stroke prevention and treatment or prevention of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, depending on the patient and doctor’s plan. This capsule is one specific strength made by Cipla, India, and it should be used exactly as directed.

How it works: Dabigatran etexilate is a prodrug that is converted in the body to dabigatran, which directly blocks thrombin, a key protein needed to form blood clots. In capsule form, Dabipla 110 mg Capsule delivers the medicine for regular oral use so it can help stop clots from forming or getting larger.

Dabipla 110 mg Capsule is a mid-to-higher strength capsule, so it is typically chosen for patients whose doctor wants a specific anticoagulation level and who are not using a lower dose. It is not a starter dose for everyone; the 110 mg strength may be selected based on kidney function, age, bleeding risk, and the reason for treatment. Because dabigatran begins working after it is absorbed, the capsule is not a fast-relief medicine and should be taken on schedule rather than as needed.

• Prevention of stroke and blood clots in non-valvular atrial fibrillation
• Treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE)
• Prevention of DVT and PE from coming back
• Blood clot prevention after certain medical situations if prescribed by a doctor

• Swallow Dabipla 110 mg Capsule whole with a full glass of water; do not crush, open, or chew it.
• Take it exactly at the times prescribed, because missing doses can reduce clot protection.
• This capsule can be taken with or without food, unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• If you miss a dose, follow your prescriber’s directions for missed doses rather than doubling up on your own.
• Store the capsules in the original strip/box until use so they stay protected from moisture.

Each Dabipla 110 mg Capsule provides 110 mg of dabigatran etexilate. The doctor decides how often it should be taken, and in some patients it may be prescribed twice daily; the maximum daily amount depends on the reason for treatment, kidney function, age, and bleeding risk. Do not change the dose or stop taking Dabipla 110 mg Capsule without medical advice, because the safest schedule is individualized.

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
• Bleeding gums
• Upset stomach
• Stomach pain
• Heartburn or indigestion
• Nausea

• This is a stronger anticoagulant dose and may increase bleeding risk if it is not the right fit for your age, kidney function, and health history.
• Do not take Dabipla 110 mg Capsule if you have active bleeding or a serious bleeding disorder unless your prescriber specifically instructs you to do so.
• Tell your doctor before any surgery, dental work, or spinal procedure, because this medicine may need to be held in advance.
• Avoid over-the-counter NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or naproxen unless your doctor says they are safe with dabigatran.
• Use extra caution with alcohol, which can increase the chance of stomach irritation and bleeding.
• Let your clinician know if you have kidney problems, a history of stomach ulcers, or a heart valve condition.
• Do not stop suddenly, because stopping dabigatran can raise the risk of blood clots.

• Other blood thinners such as warfarin, heparin, apixaban, rivaroxaban, or clopidogrel can raise bleeding risk.
• NSAIDs like ibuprofen, naproxen, and diclofenac can increase bleeding and stomach irritation.
• P-glycoprotein inhibitors or inducers, such as ketoconazole, rifampin, verapamil, and amiodarone, may affect dabigatran levels.
• SSRIs and SNRIs may increase bleeding risk when used with Dabipla 110 mg Capsule.

Keep Dabipla 110 mg Capsule in its original strip/box at room temperature, dry, and away from moisture and heat.
