Dabigatran etexilate Medical Valley 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 Medical Valley is used in adults to:

  • prevent the formation of blood clots in veins after hip or knee replacement surgery.
  • prevent blood clots in the brain (stroke) and in other blood vessels in the body in patients with a type of irregular heartbeat 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 Medical Valley is used in children to:

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

4. Possible side effects

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody will experience them.
Dabigatran etexilate Medical Valley affects the blood clotting system; therefore, most of the side effects are related to symptoms such as bruising or bleeding. Severe or extensive bleeding may occur, which is the most serious side effect and, regardless of location, 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, paleness, dizziness, headache, or unexplained swelling), 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 in breathing or dizziness, contact your doctor immediately.
