1. What Dabigatran etexilate Polpharma is and what it is used for

Dabigatran etexilate Polpharma contains dabigatran etexilate as the active substance and belongs to a group of medicines called anticoagulants. It works by blocking a substance in the body that is involved in blood clot formation.

Dabigatran etexilate Polpharma is used in adults to:

  • prevent the formation of blood clots in veins after hip or knee replacement surgery.
  • prevent the occurrence of blood clots in the brain (stroke) and in other blood vessels in patients who have a type of irregular heart rhythm called non-valvular atrial fibrillation and at least one additional risk factor.
  • treat blood clots in the veins of the legs and lungs, and to prevent recurrence of such clots.

Dabigatran etexilate Polpharma is used in children to:

  • treat blood clots and to prevent recurrence of blood clots.

  • If the patient is taking anticoagulant medicines (e.g. warfarin, rivaroxaban, apixaban or heparin), except when switching anticoagulant therapy, inserting a venous or arterial catheter when heparin is administered through the catheter to maintain its patency, or restoring normal heart rhythm by a procedure called catheter ablation in atrial fibrillation.
  • If the patient has severe impairment of liver function or liver disease that may lead to death.
  • If the patient is taking oral ketoconazole or itraconazole, medicines used to treat fungal infections.

4. Possible adverse reactions

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause adverse reactions, although not everyone will experience them.
Dabigatran etexilate Polpharma affects the blood coagulation system; therefore, most adverse reactions involve symptoms such as bruising or bleeding.
Severe or major bleeding may occur, which is the most serious adverse reaction, and regardless of location, it may lead to disability, be life-threatening, or even result in death.
In some cases, these bleedings may not be visible.
If bleeding that does not stop spontaneously occurs, or symptoms of excessive bleeding (unusual weakness, fatigue, pallor, dizziness, headache, or unexplained swelling) appear, contact your doctor immediately. The doctor may decide to place the patient under close observation or change the treatment.
In case of a severe allergic reaction, which may cause difficulty breathing or dizziness, contact your doctor immediately.
