

RE-LY study established clinical efficacy.
Conclusions:
1. Significantly more effective than warfarin.
2. Risk of major bleeding was significantly
less.
3. Risk of hemorrhagic stroke was less.
4. All cause mortality was reduced.

Dosing: 150mg BID
75mg CrCl 15-30
Not recommended < 15
Cost estimated at $230/mo.
No known antidote. If necessary PRC, FFP
or cryoprecipitate. PTT best estimate
anticoagulation effect.
Pre-op discontinuation 1-5 days and cover
with Heparin/LMH.
Specific instruction for conversion from
warfarin to Pradaxa.




ADR; dyspepsia, abd. pain, diarrhea, GI
bleed.
Bleeding risk: NSAIDA, other antiplatelets.
Doesn’t affect P450 system. Minimal drug
interactions. Avoid Rifampin, St. John’s
wart.
Caution with bleeding risk and
contraindicated in active bleeding.
Absorption: not affected by food. Achieves
effective levels within 1-2 hrs, steady state in
2-3 days.
 Do not open, crush or chew tablets.
 Half life: 12-17 hrs.
 Excretion: primary renal.
 Pregnancy Category C.
 Breastfeeding: Unknown.
 Open pill container only good for 30 days.

Conversion from
warfarin → dabigatran
Discontinue warfarin. Start dabigatran when INR < 2.0
Conversion from
dabigatran → warfarin
CrCl > 50 ml/min: Start warfarin 3 days prior to stopping dabigatran
CrCl 31-50 ml/min: Start warfarin 2 days prior to stopping dabigatran
CrCl 15-30 ml/min: Start warfarin 1 day prior to stopping dabigatran
CrCl < 15 or on dialysis: no recommendations can be given
**Since dabigatran contributes to INR elevation, warfarin’s effect on the
INR will be better reflected after dabigatran has been stopped for ≥2 days
Conversion from
parenteral anticoagulants
Start dabigatran at the time the next dose of the parenteral drug would be
administered or at the discontinuance of a continuously administered
parenteral drug (e.g. UFH)
Conversion to parenteral
anticoagulants
CrCl ≥ 30 ml/min: Wait 12 hours after the last dose of dabigatran
CrCl < 30 ml/min: Wait 24 hours after the last dose of dabigatran
Invasive or surgical
procedures
If possible, discontinue dabigatran 1-2 days (Clcr ≥50 mL/minute) or
3-5 days (Clcr <50 mL/minute) before invasive or surgical procedures
due to the risk of bleeding; consider longer times for patients undergoing
major surgery, spinal puncture, or insertion of a spinal or epidural catheter
or port. If surgery cannot be delayed, the risk of bleeding is elevated;
weigh risk of bleeding with urgency of procedure. Bleeding risk can be
assessed by the ecarin clotting time (ECT) if available; if ECT is not
available, use of aPTT may provide an approximation of dabigatran’s
anticoagulant activity.

Class: HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor.
