Safe INR Level for Ablation?
Might I be canceled as, according to these numbers from today's tests, the
Pradaxa
hasn't thinned my blood much. Are these the cases where they go ahead with the procedure anyway and just add heparin during the procedure? Literature notes a higher risk of completions with INR <1.5 - 2.0 Thanks.

Pradaxa Ahead Of Scheduled Cryo Ablation
My question is what has been the experience of folks here with
Pradaxa
vs. other blood thinner like Warfarin, Eliquis, etc? I know Warfarin is the older/original thinner and I thought I read that there is less reported bleeding with Eliquis.

Anticoagulant for the first time during an Afib episode ?
Note that apixaban,
pradaxa
and coumarin were prescribed (different doctors, different drugs). Hope has died. Afib doesn't seem to go away. Should we take the antigoaculant now or we should wait for the afib episode to finish ? Thank you

Pradaxa...stop taking? Continue?
My physician has suggested I no longer need blood thinners (
pradaxa
). I have no side effects from
pradaxa
, no bleeding issues even during home renovation injuries. I worry about stroke and have opted to continue taking it. Is there any reason I should discontinue taking it?

Pradaxa
Have anyone experience of
pradaxa
? My pharmacist knows very little and not used a lot where I stay. They say they have to order it in, so give them plenty time to get repeats.

Pradaxa

With food? Empty stomach? Take all together with or without food?
., I take
Pradaxa
, an anticoagulant, and Flecainide, on an empty stomach. Twelve hours later at 11pm, I take another dose of Flecainide and
Pradaxa
(empty stomach).

Life after TURP
A subsequent 24 hour monitor showed the condition was not serious but I now take
Pradaxa
, an anti coagulant, and have an appointment with cardiologist next week. I had a meeting with my urologist earlier this month.

Pradaxa or otherwise known as dibagatran
Have been on this for over five years. Two tablets, one in the morning and the other late at night. Initially gave me a lot of wind, but now the body has got used to it and that problem has gone away. Suggest keep fluid levels well up. The only other side affect is weight gain, which I understand from

Racing heart due Covid vaccine
The Doctor gave me some injection and some medicine like
pradaxa
110 mg and concor 2.5 mg as morning and evening. Again 10 days back I took 2nd dose, but since the astrazeneca was not available so I was provided with pfizer stating it has no side affect.

Edoxaban (Savaysa) gastrointestinal and other side effects
I have researched information about other blood thinners and noticed that
Pradaxa
has many side effects as well. My question is about Edoxaban (Savaysa). It seems it does not have any gastrointestinal side effects, such as diarrhea, although I believe I found a mention of a few having stomach pain.

Pradaxa
, among patients with atrial fibrillation.
