Dabigatran Trial

[MASuk10]

Hi all,

I found out yesterday, after 18 months, that my APS is my primary condition which is good news in a way. My consultant at Northampton Hospital has recommended me for the Dabigatran trial. I'm waiting for a call from London with more information.

In the meantime is anyone here on that trial?

Not on a trial, but am on dabigatran - have been since August 12. Suits me we'll (primary APS - with previous multiple PEs! Good luck (only side effect is if I take it lying down I can get really bad indigestion, so when taking night time dose (2 x a day) I have to sit up for at least 15 minutes. Other than that it doesn't interfere in my life at all! Good luck

That sounds good, I'm on Fragmin but I hope that one day I will be on an oral Heparin like you are.
