Drug Overview
Pradaxa (dabigatran; Boehringer Ingelheim) is an orally available direct thrombin inhibitor (factor IIa inhibitor) indicated for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients who previously received treatment with a parenteral anticoagulant for five to 10 days. Pradaxa acts by inhibiting the conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin during the coagulation cascade, and therefore does not allow for the stimulation of platelet activation. Further, through thrombin inhibition, Pradaxa prevents the development of thrombus. Taken together, the drug prevents the formation of blood clots.
