Dabigatran etexilate, branded as Pradaxa, is an oral anticoagulant used to prevent blood clotting, reducing the risk of stroke, systemic embolism, DVT, and PE, as well as preventing clot formation after orthopedic surgeries. It works as a direct thrombin inhibitor, blocking the enzyme necessary for clot formation. Common side effects include bleeding, bruising, and gastrointestinal issues, with nursing considerations focusing on monitoring bleeding risks, medication adherence, and renal function.
