DABIGAT 75MG CAPSULE 10'S belongs to a class of drugs known as anticoagulants or blood thinners. DABIGAT 75MG CAPSULE 10'S is primarily used to prevent and treat the risk of stroke and heart attack by reducing blood clot formation. Besides this, it also reduces the risk of getting clots in people who have undergone knee or hip replacement surgeries. DABIGAT 75MG CAPSULE 10'S works by stopping the action of clotting factor (thrombin). This prevents the conversion of fibrinogen (soluble protein) to fibrin (insoluble protein), thereby preventing blood clots formation.

If you are known to be allergic to DABIGAT 75MG CAPSULE 10'S or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to consult a doctor before using DABIGAT 75MG CAPSULE 10'S.

Thrombosis/Blood Clot: A blood clot can occur in any part of the body and can lead to a heart attack, stroke, or damage to organs. Blood clots can reach the arteries or veins in the organs like the brain, kidney, heart, lungs, and limbs. Conditions like atherosclerosis, diabetes, heart failure, irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), and obesity/overweight can trigger excessive blood clotting in the brain and heart. 

Deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in legs): It is a medical condition in which blood clots form in deep veins, usually in the legs. The symptoms include leg pain or swelling. 

Pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung): It is a chronic condition that occurs as the blood clots break and travel to the lungs from deep veins in the legs or other parts of the body. The symptoms of pulmonary embolism include cough, chest pain, and shortness of breath.

Stroke (blood clots in the brain): It occurs when the supply of blood to part of your brain is stopped or reduced. This prevents brain tissue from getting nutrients and oxygen leading to the death of brain cells.

Heart attack: A heart attack means the death of heart tissue due to a shortage of blood supply to the heart muscles. This can occur when there is an accumulation of cholesterol or fat narrowing the heart's major veins or when other substances like a blood clot are blocking the flow of blood.
