Information About Pradaxa Medication:

Pradaxa (Dabigatran)

Pradaxa is used to help prevent the formation of blood clots. It is an anticoagulant that is used to lower the risk of blood clots and stroke in people who suffer from atrial fibrillation. It helps to treat the blood clots in lungs (pulmonary embolism, or PE) or in the veins of the legs (deep vein thrombosis). Pradaxa medication also lowers the risk of this problem reoccurring.

Pradaxa 150 mg is easily available online at Canada Pharmacy. Quality is guaranteed.

Directions

People who have an artificial heart valve should avoid taking this medication. You should not take this medication if you are experiencing active bleeding as a result of an injury or due to surgery or any other cause. As this medicine prevents the blood from clotting, it can also cause you to bleed even from a small injury like a bump on the head or a fall. Therefore, avoid activities that can cause bleeding while taking this medicine.

Pradaxa can cause a severe blood clot around the spinal cord under certain circumstances which can lead to permanent paralysis. Get immediate medical help if you experience any symptoms of spinal blood clot like numbness, muscle weakness in the lower body, or back pain, or loss of bowel or bladder control.
