Dabistar 110 Capsule 10

Dabistar 110 Capsule is commonly used for managing the following health conditions:

• Preventing stroke in adults with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: This condition involves an irregular heart rhythm, which increases the risk of clots in the body that can cause strokes.

• Managing and preventing recurrence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT): DVT is a condition where blood clots form in deep veins, typically in the legs.

• Managing and preventing recurrence of pulmonary embolism (PE): PE occurs when a blood clot gets lodged in an artery in the lungs, potentially causing severe illness or death.

These uses are particularly relevant for elderly patients over 75-80 years and those at an increased risk of bleeding.

To use Dabistar 110 Capsule effectively:

• Follow the dosage and timing instructions provided by your doctor precisely.

• Do not change or exceed the prescribed dose without consulting your doctor.

• Consult your doctor before discontinuing the medication; do not stop taking it without their guidance.

• Adhere to the dietary recommendations given by your doctor.

Dabistar 110 Capsule is taken orally.

Dabistar 110 Capsule contains dabigatran etexilate (110 mg), which works on your body as follows:

• Conversion to Active Form: After oral administration, dabigatran etexilate gets absorbed rapidly and transforms into its active form, dabigatran, in the gut and liver through esterase-catalyzed hydrolysis.

• Thrombin Inhibition: Dabigatran acts as a potent, reversible, competitive inhibitor of thrombin—an enzyme crucial for blood clot formation. By blocking thrombin, it prevents the conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin during blood coagulation.

• Thrombus Prevention: The inhibition process stops the development of a thrombus (blood clot). Dabigatran not only inhibits free thrombin but also obstructs fibrin-bound thrombin and thrombin-induced platelet aggregation.

• Keep Dabistar 110 Capsule at a cool 25°C; a range of 15-30°C is permissible.

• Store in its original packaging to shield it from moisture.

• Don't transfer capsules into pill boxes or organisers.

• Ensure it's out of reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date before use; expired medicine might not work as effectively.

• If you're taking Dabistar 110 Capsule for non-valvular atrial fibrillation or deep vein thrombosis, maintaining a healthy weight can help manage your condition. Extra weight puts more strain on your heart, which can increase your risk of blood clots.

• Incorporate low-intensity exercise into your daily routine. Gentle activities like walking or swimming can improve cardiovascular health, reducing the risk of blood clot formation. However, consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
