Dabiran Capsule 110 mg contains Dabigatran Etexilate Mesylate. It is a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) that helps prevent the formation of harmful blood clots in the body. This medication is commonly used as an alternative to traditional anticoagulants like warfarin due to its predictable effects and no need for routine monitoring in most cases.
Dabigatran is widely prescribed for patients at risk of stroke or clot-related complications.
