Medicine Information

About Dabigat 150 mg Capsule:

Each Dabigat 150 mg capsule contains Dabigatran Etexilate Mesylate equivalent to Dabigatran Etexilate 150mg.

Dabigatran etexilate belongs to a group of medicines called anticoagulants. It works by blocking a substance in the body which is involved in blood clot formation.

After administration, dabigatran etexilate (pro-drug) is rapidly converted to dabigatran (active drug) by esterase-catalyzed hydrolysis. Dabigatran is a potent, competitive, reversible direct thrombin inhibitor. It prevents the thrombin-mediated conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin during the coagulation cascade, which inhibits the development of thrombus.

Dabigatran also inhibits free thrombin, fibrin-bound thrombin, and thrombin-induced platelet aggregation.
