Goodflo 75 mg Capsule

Goodflo 75 mg Capsule is a prescription anticoagulant that contains 75 mg of dabigatran etexilate in each capsule. It belongs to the blood thinner class and is used to help prevent and treat certain blood clots, including reducing the risk of stroke in some people with atrial fibrillation and helping manage or prevent deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism when prescribed for these conditions. Because it affects how fast your blood clots, Goodflo 75 mg Capsule should only be used under a doctor’s guidance.

How it works: Dabigatran etexilate is a prodrug that your body converts into dabigatran, which blocks thrombin, a key clotting protein. In capsule form, Goodflo 75 mg Capsule helps slow clot formation so existing clots are less likely to grow and new clots are less likely to form.

Goodflo 75 mg Capsule is a lower-strength capsule compared with higher-dosage dabigatran regimens, and it may be chosen for people who need a reduced dose because of kidney function, age, bleeding risk, or other medical factors. This strength does not work faster than other strengths; it is simply a smaller amount of the same medicine, so your doctor can tailor treatment more carefully.

• Prevention of stroke in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation
• Treatment or prevention of deep vein thrombosis
• Treatment or prevention of pulmonary embolism
• Reduction of clot risk after certain clinical situations when prescribed

• Swallow the Goodflo 75 mg Capsule whole with a full glass of water.
• Do not open, crush, or chew the capsule, because that can change how the medicine is absorbed.
• Take it exactly at the times your doctor prescribes, often twice daily for many approved uses.
• 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 capsule in its original packaging until use to help protect it from moisture.

Each Goodflo 75 mg Capsule provides 75 mg of dabigatran etexilate per capsule. How often you take it depends on the condition being treated and your kidney function, but it may be prescribed once or twice daily depending on the reason for use and your doctor’s instructions. There is no one-size-fits-all maximum for this strength because the prescriber decides the total daily dose based on your individual bleeding and clotting risk.

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

Common side effects of Dabigatran Etexilate may include:

• Bruising more easily
• Bleeding from the nose or gums
• Stomach upset or indigestion
• Abdominal pain
• Nausea
• Loose stools or diarrhea

• Do not stop Goodflo 75 mg Capsule suddenly unless your prescriber tells you to, because stopping can raise clot risk.
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, since dabigatran levels can rise when kidney function is reduced.
• Use extra caution if you have a history of stomach ulcers, recent surgery, or any bleeding disorder.
• Avoid or limit alcohol, which can increase bleeding risk and stomach irritation.
• Do not take other blood thinners, aspirin, or NSAIDs unless your doctor says it is safe.
• Tell all healthcare providers and dentists that you take dabigatran before any procedure.
• Use caution when driving or doing tasks if you feel dizzy, weak, or faint from bleeding or anemia.
