Dabitra 75 mg Capsule

Dabitra 75 mg Capsule is a prescription anticoagulant that contains 75 mg of dabigatran etexilate in each capsule. It belongs to the direct thrombin inhibitor class, which helps reduce the blood’s ability to clot. Doctors prescribe Dabitra 75 mg Capsule to help prevent and treat certain serious blood clots, depending on the patient’s condition. It is an oral capsule made by Emcure Pharmaceuticals, India, and comes in a strip/box of 10 capsules.

How it works: Dabigatran etexilate is a prodrug that the body converts into dabigatran, which directly blocks thrombin, a key enzyme needed to form blood clots. In capsule form, Dabitra 75 mg Capsule is taken by mouth and begins working after it is absorbed and converted in the body.

Dabitra 75 mg Capsule is a low-dose strength, which may be chosen when a doctor wants a more cautious anticoagulant dose because of age, kidney function, bleeding risk, or other medical factors. It is not a generic starting dose for everyone; the right dose depends on the condition being treated and the patient’s overall health. Compared with higher-strength dabigatran capsules, the 75 mg capsule provides a smaller amount of medicine per dose and may be used in specific situations where extra dose control is important.

• Reducing the risk of stroke in atrial fibrillation
• Treating deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Treating pulmonary embolism (PE)
• Reducing the risk of recurrent DVT or PE
• Preventing blood clots after certain medical situations, if prescribed

• Swallow Dabitra 75 mg Capsule whole with a full glass of water; do not open, crush, or chew the capsule.
• Take it at the same times each day if your doctor prescribes a twice-daily schedule.
• This capsule can be taken with or without food, but taking it the same way each time may help you remember.
• Do not remove the capsules from the strip until you are ready to take them, because the capsule shell is sensitive to moisture.
• 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.
• Follow the exact schedule your doctor gives you, especially if you have kidney problems or a higher bleeding risk.

Each Dabitra 75 mg Capsule provides 75 mg of dabigatran etexilate per capsule. How often it is taken depends on why it was prescribed and on kidney function, age, and bleeding risk; some patients may take it twice daily, but the prescriber decides the exact schedule. Do not assume 75 mg is a standard amount for everyone, and do not exceed the daily amount your doctor prescribes.

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

Common side effects of Dabigatran Etexilate may include:

• Bleeding more easily than usual
• Stomach upset or abdominal pain
• Heartburn or indigestion
• Nausea
• Bruising
• Diarrhea
• These effects are not unique to the 75 mg strength, but bleeding concerns are especially important with any anticoagulant dose

• Tell your doctor about any kidney disease before using Dabitra 75 mg Capsule, since kidney function strongly affects dabigatran levels.
• This medicine can cause serious bleeding; avoid activities with a high risk of injury unless your clinician says it is safe.
• Tell every healthcare professional that you take an anticoagulant before surgery, dental work, or medical procedures.
• Do not stop Dabitra 75 mg Capsule on your own, because stopping suddenly can raise the risk of a dangerous clot.
• Avoid or limit alcohol if your doctor advises, since alcohol can increase bleeding risk or stomach irritation.
• Use caution if you also take medicines that affect platelets or bleeding, such as aspirin, NSAIDs, or other blood thinners.
• If you have a history of stomach ulcers, bleeding disorders, or recent bleeding, your doctor may monitor you more closely.

• Aspirin and other NSAIDs, which can increase bleeding risk
• Other anticoagulants, including heparin, warfarin, and similar blood thinners
• Antiplatelet medicines such as clopidogrel or ticagrelor
• P-glycoprotein inhibitors such as dronedarone or ketoconazole, which can raise dabigatran levels
• Certain seizure or TB medicines that may lower dabigatran effectiveness

Store Dabitra 75 mg Capsule in the original strip/box in a dry place at room temperature, and keep the capsules protected from moisture until use.
