1. What is Dabigatran Etexilate Stada and what is it used for
This medicine contains the active substance dabigatran etexilate and belongs to a group of medicines called anticoagulants. It works by blocking a substance in the body involved in blood clot formation.
Dabigatran etexilate is used in adults to:
- prevent the formation of blood clots in the veins after a knee or hip replacement operation.
- prevent the formation of blood clots in the brain (stroke) and in other blood vessels of the body if you have a type of irregular heart rhythm called non-valvular atrial fibrillation and have at least one additional risk factor.
- treat blood clots in the veins of your legs and lungs and to prevent them from happening again in the veins of your legs and lungs.
Dabigatran etexilate is used in children to:
- treat and prevent the formation of blood clots.

Be careful with Dabigatran Etexilate Stada
- If you need to undergo surgery:
In this case, dabigatran etexilate must be temporarily discontinued due to an increased risk of bleeding during and after surgery. It is very important that you take dabigatran etexilate before and after surgery exactly at the times indicated by your doctor.
- If surgery requires the placement of a catheter or injection into the spinal column (e.g. for epidural or spinal anesthesia or for pain relief):

3. How to take Dabigatran Etexilate Stada
Dabigatran etexilate capsules can be used in adults and children aged 8 years or older who are able to swallow the capsules whole. There are other pharmaceutical forms suitable for the treatment of children under 8 years.
Follow the instructions for administration of this medicine exactly as told by your doctor. If you are unsure, consult your doctor again.
Take Dabigatran Etexilate as recommended for the following situations:
Prevention of blood clot formation after a knee or hip replacement operation
The recommended dose is 220 mg once a day(administered as 2 capsules of 110 mg).
If your kidney function is reducedby more than half or if you are 75 years of age or older, the recommended dose is 150 mg once a day(administered as 2 capsules of 75 mg).
If you are using medicines that contain amiodarone, quinidine or verapamil, the recommended dose is 150 mg once a day(administered as 2 capsules of 75 mg).
If you are using medicines that contain verapamil and your kidney function is reducedby more than half, you should be given a reduced dose of dabigatran etexilate of 75 mgbecause your risk of bleeding may increase.
In both types of surgery, treatment should not be started if there is bleeding at the site of surgery. If treatment cannot be started until the day after the operation, dosing should be started with 2 capsules once a day.
After a knee replacement operation
You should start treatment with dabigatran etexilate 1-4 hours after the operation, taking a single capsule. After that, you should take 2 capsules once a day for a total of 10 days.
After a hip replacement operation
You should start treatment with dabigatran etexilate 1-4 hours after the operation, taking a single capsule. After that, you should take 2 capsules once a day for a total of 28-35 days.
Prevention of stroke or systemic embolism due to blood clot formation in patients with irregular heart rhythm and treatment of blood clots in the veins of your legs and lungs, including prevention of recurrence of blood clots in the veins of your legs and lungs
The recommended dose is 300 mg administered as one 150 mg capsule twice a day.
If you are 80 years of age or older, the recommended dose is 220 mg administered as one 110 mg capsule twice a day.
If you are using medicines that contain verapamil, you should be given a reduced dose of dabigatran etexilate of 220 mg taken as one 110 mg capsule twice a day, because your risk of bleeding may increase.
If you have a potentially higher risk of bleeding, your doctor may decide to prescribe a dose of 220 mg administered as one 110 mg capsule twice a day.
You can continue taking this medicine if you need to restore your normal heart rhythm through a procedure called cardioversion. Take dabigatran etexilate as instructed by your doctor.
If you have been implanted with a medical device (vascular endoprosthesis) in a blood vessel to keep it open in a procedure called percutaneous coronary intervention with vascular endoprosthesis, you may receive treatment with dabigatran etexilate once your doctor has decided that normal blood clotting control has been achieved. Take dabigatran etexilate as instructed by your doctor.
Treatment of blood clots and prevention of recurrence of blood clots in children
Dabigatran etexilate should be taken twice a day, one dose in the morning and one dose in the evening, approximately at the same time every day. The administration interval should be as close as possible to 12 hours.
The recommended dose depends on weight and age. Your doctor will determine the correct dose. Your doctor may adjust the dose during treatment. Continue using all other medicines unless your doctor tells you to stop using one.

4. Possible side effects
Like all medications, this medication can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them.
Severe side effects
Dabigatran etexilate acts on blood coagulation; therefore, most side effects are related to signs such as bruising or bleeding.
Major or severe bleeding episodes may occur, which are the most serious side effects and can cause disability, be potentially fatal, or even cause death. In some cases, these bleeding episodes may not be apparent.
- If you experience any bleeding episode that does not stop on its own or if you experience signs of excessive bleeding (exceptional weakness, fatigue, paleness, dizziness, headache, or unexplained swelling), consult your doctor immediately. Your doctor may decide to keep you under close observation or change your medication.
- Tell your doctor immediately if you experience a severe allergic reaction that causes difficulty breathing or dizziness.
