Reviews for Dabigatran

Pradaxa (dabigatran) "I had ablation surgery three weeks ago and have been on Pradaxa 150mg twice a day ever since. During the first week, I had a constant sour stomach and my surgeon suggested Prilosec. It takes a few days before Prilosec kicks in so I took Mylanta until it did. My second and third weeks were much easier but now that I'm starting my fourth week, the constant sour stomach is back. I still take Mylanta between meals but it only helps a little. I take Pradaxa during meals with a full glass of water. I have to stay on this medicine five more weeks. Any suggestions would be appreciated."

For Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation "It seemed to work for the short term, but I believe there are problems for long term use, and especially when prescribed for non-cardiological purposes. I had been prescribed dabigatran and was taking it for almost 6 months when suddenly I started prolonged bleeding although I am in menopause."

For Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation "I've been taking Pradaxa for about 2 months. Cardiology lowered the dose to 75 twice a day. I have noticed no side effects at all. I have less bruising when bumping myself also. I hope this continues as bruising effect from warfarin was very unsightly."

Pradaxa (dabigatran) for Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation "Using Pradaxa, rather new, only a month. However, taking two pills a day rather than needle-testing is so much easier. The only side effect is a slight weight gain."
