Does anyone take Pradaxa just once a day. If so, what was it prescribed for?

Pradaxa (dabigatran) belongs to a class of anticoagulant medications called direct thrombin inhibitors. Dabigatran works by preventing blood clots from forming in the body.

Pradaxa is used to treat blood clots deep in the body (deep vein thrombosis, DVT) and lungs (pulmonary embolism, PE) in adults who have received blood thinners by injection for 5 to 10 days
