Dabiran Capsule 150 mg contains Dabigatran Etexilate Mesylate. It belongs to a class of medicines known as direct thrombin inhibitors and is widely used to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism, particularly in patients with certain heart conditions. Compared to older anticoagulants, it offers more predictable effects and generally does not require routine blood monitoring.
This higher-strength formulation is typically prescribed for patients who need stronger anticoagulation under medical supervision.
