Overview

Pradaxa 150mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that contains Dabigatran etexilate 150mg. It is supplied as a tablet and is dispensed in Malaysia only against a valid prescription issued by a registered doctor.

Under Malaysian rules for prescription medicines, this page carries product, safety and handling information only. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain whether this medicine is suitable for you, the dose you should take, and how long you should take it.

On DoctorOnCall, Pradaxa 150mg Tablet is reviewed by a licensed doctor through an online consultation and dispensed by a registered pharmacist before delivery. Always follow the instructions on your prescription label and the package insert supplied with the product, and do not share this medicine with anyone else.

Directions for Use

Swallow Pradaxa 150mg Tablet capsules whole with a full glass of water; do not open, break, or chew the capsule, as this significantly increases the rate of absorption and the risk of bleeding. Take the capsule at consistent times each day, with or without food, and try not to miss a dose, since its anticoagulant effect wears off relatively quickly if a dose is delayed.

Dosage

The dose of Pradaxa 150mg Tablet is individualised by your doctor based on your indication, kidney function, age, and bleeding risk – standard dosing for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation is typically 150mg twice daily, with reduced doses of 110mg or 75mg twice daily used for patients with reduced kidney function, those aged 80 and above, or those taking certain interacting medicines. Always take the exact dose and strength prescribed and do not change it without consulting your doctor.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Side Effects

  • Nausea

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to dabigatran etexilate or any ingredient in this product
  • Active, clinically significant bleeding
  • Severe kidney impairment
  • A lesion or condition considered a significant risk factor for major bleeding (e.g. active or recent gastrointestinal ulceration)
  • Mechanical prosthetic heart valve (dabigatran is not recommended in this setting)

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Other anticoagulants, antiplatelets (aspirin, clopidogrel), and NSAIDs increase the risk of bleeding when combined
  • Strong P-glycoprotein inhibitors (e.g. ketoconazole, dronedarone) can increase dabigatran blood levels and bleeding risk
  • P-glycoprotein inducers (e.g. rifampicin, St John’s Wort) can reduce dabigatran’s effectiveness, increasing clot risk
  • Verapamil and amiodarone may increase dabigatran levels – inform your doctor of all medicines you are taking

Quick Tips

  • Never crush, chew, or open the capsule before swallowing
  • Never stop this medicine on your own, even briefly, without your doctor’s advice, as this can raise your risk of stroke or clot
  • Tell every doctor, dentist, or pharmacist that you are taking this medicine before any procedure or new prescription
  • Report unusual bleeding, bruising, or blood in your urine or stool to your doctor promptly
  • Carry a note or alert card stating you are on an anticoagulant, in case of emergency
