Product Description:

ECODABIGAT – 150mg is a direct thrombin inhibitor used as an oral anticoagulant for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). It is also indicated for the treatment and prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Compared to warfarin, Dabigatran offers predictable action, fewer interactions, and no need for routine INR monitoring.

Key Benefits:

• Prevents clot formation in atrial fibrillation

• Reduces risk of stroke, DVT, and pulmonary embolism

• Oral, fixed-dose alternative to warfarin

• No dietary restrictions and minimal drug interactions

• Rapid onset with predictable anticoagulant effect

---

How it works:

Dabigatran directly inhibits thrombin (Factor IIa), the key enzyme that converts fibrinogen to fibrin during blood clot formation. By targeting thrombin directly, it prevents clot growth and formation, offering fast, reliable anticoagulation without affecting platelet function.

---

How to use:

• Take one tablet twice daily, or as directed by your physician.

• Swallow whole with a full glass of water — do not crush or chew the tablet.

• Can be taken with or without food.

• Adherence is crucial; missed doses increase clot risk.

---

Safety Advice:

• Increased risk of bleeding — report symptoms like unexplained bruising, black stools, or blood in urine.

• Not suitable for patients with mechanical heart valves.

• Avoid NSAIDs and alcohol unless medically advised.

• Kidney function should be assessed before and during prolonged therapy.

---

Precautions:

• Use with caution in renal impairment, elderly patients, or those with prior GI bleeding.

• Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
