How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (DABIGATRAN). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Dabigatran and its acyl glucuronides are competitive, direct thrombin inhibitors.

Because thrombin (serine protease) enables the conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin during the coagulation cascade, its inhibition prevents the development of a thrombus.

Half-life12–17 h
Mostly cleared after≈ 3 daysfive half-lives — our arithmetic
How the body breaks it down

Dabigatran is metabolized to four different acyl glucuronides and both the glucuronides and dabigatran have similar pharmacological activity.

How it leaves the body

Dabigatran is eliminated primarily in the urine.

With food

Coadministration of dabigatran with a high-fat meal delays the time to C max by approximately 2 hours but has no effect on the bioavailability of dabigatran; Dabigatran may be administered with or without food.
