Dubatran 110 mg Capsule

Dubatran 110 mg Capsule is a prescription anticoagulant that contains 110 mg of dabigatran etexilate in each capsule. It belongs to the blood thinner class and is used to help prevent and treat certain dangerous blood clots. Dubatran 110 mg Capsule may be prescribed for conditions such as stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation and treatment or prevention of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, depending on your doctor’s plan. Because it affects clotting, it should be used exactly as directed.

How it works: Dabigatran etexilate is a prodrug that the body converts to dabigatran, which directly blocks thrombin, a key clotting protein. In capsule form, Dubatran 110 mg Capsule helps reduce the blood’s ability to form harmful clots.

Dubatran 110 mg Capsule is a higher-strength capsule, so it is not a starter dose for everyone and is usually chosen only after a doctor has reviewed kidney function, bleeding risk, age, and the reason for treatment. Compared with lower-strength dabigatran products, the 110 mg capsule may be selected when a patient needs a specific anticoagulant dose that balances clot prevention with a lower bleeding risk. It is not meant to be adjusted on your own, and the dose schedule depends on the condition being treated.

• Prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in non-valvular atrial fibrillation
• Treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE)
• Prevention of recurrent DVT or PE
• Reduction of clot risk after certain clotting events, as prescribed

• Swallow the capsule whole with a full glass of water; do not open, crush, or chew it.
• Take Dubatran 110 mg Capsule at the same times each day if you are prescribed a twice-daily schedule.
• 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 the original strip/box until you are ready to take them, since the packaging helps protect them from moisture.
• Follow the food instructions your doctor gives; this capsule can be taken with or without food unless your prescriber says otherwise.
• Do not stop taking it suddenly without medical advice, because stopping can raise your clot risk.

Each Dubatran 110 mg Capsule provides 110 mg of dabigatran etexilate. Depending on the condition being treated and your individual bleeding risk, it may be taken once or twice daily, but the exact schedule and maximum daily amount must be set by your doctor. Do not change the dose or frequency on your own, since this strength is part of a prescribed anticoagulation plan.

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

Common side effects of Dabigatran Etexilate may include:

• Bleeding or easy bruising
• Stomach upset or indigestion
• Heartburn
• Nausea
• Abdominal pain
• Nosebleeds

• Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, because dabigatran is cleared through the kidneys and the dose may need adjustment.
• Use extra caution if you have a history of stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, or frequent falls.
• Do not take this medicine with another anticoagulant unless your doctor specifically tells you to.
• Limit alcohol, since it can increase bleeding risk and stomach irritation.
• Tell your doctor before any surgery, dental work, or spinal procedure; you may need to stop it temporarily under medical guidance.
• Be careful with activities that can cause injury or bleeding, such as contact sports.
• Seek medical advice before use if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

• Other blood thinners, including warfarin, heparin, apixaban, rivaroxaban, and edoxaban
• NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, naproxen, and aspirin unless specifically prescribed
• Certain strong P-gp inhibitors or inducers, which can change dabigatran levels
• Clopidogrel and other antiplatelet medicines, which can raise bleeding risk
• Ketoconazole, dronedarone, and verapamil, depending on your medical plan

Store Dubatran 110 mg Capsule in its original strip or box at room temperature, away from moisture and out of reach of children.
