Dabigatran etexilate Polpharma is used in adults for:
- preventing the formation of blood clots in veins following hip or knee replacement surgery.
- preventing blood clots in the brain (stroke) and in other blood vessels in patients with a type of irregular heartbeat called non-valvular atrial fibrillation and at least one additional risk factor.
- treating blood clots in the veins of the legs and lungs, and preventing recurrence of such clots.
Dabigatran etexilate Polpharma is used in children for:
- treatment of blood clots and prevention of recurrent blood clots.
