A member asked:
Is dabigatron suitable for a patient who has had a rriple bypass many years ago and has recently had a stroke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anticoagulant: When dabigatran is appropriate for an individual relates to a number of factors. It is a 'blood thinner' and used to minimize the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation and no valvular heart disease. There are other situaltions when it may be appropriate. You should discuss the question with the dr. That knows you best.
