摘要
The need for safe, effective and easily administered and monitored anti-thrombotic treatments that do not have the issues common to warfarin treatment has led to the development of new anticoagulant drugs. Dabigatran etexilate (Pradaxa®, Pradax™) is a prodrug of the direct thrombin inhibitor dabigatran, a direct, reversible, potent inhibitor of thrombin. Dabigatran does not interact with food, and is associated with very few known drug interactions.
