Common Bleeding.

Expert advice for Pradaxa Capsule
Good medication for preventing blood clots. For best results, take Pradaxa at the same time every day. Doesn't require regular blood tests (PT-INR). Interacts less with food or other medicines; hence doesn’t require frequent dose changes. Pradaxa increases your risk of bleeding. Be careful while shaving, cutting fingernails or toenails, using sharp objects or engaging in contact sports (e.g. football, wrestling). Notify your doctor if you see blood in your vomit, urine or stool (black, tarry stools or bright red blood). Notify your doctor if you have any kidney problem. If you are going to have a surgery or dental treatment, you may be asked to stop taking Pradaxa temporarily. There are antidotes to stop bleeding caused by overdose of Pradaxa.

Q. Who should not take Pradaxa?
People who are presently experiencing any unusual bleeding or are allergic to Pradaxa should not take it. Pradaxa is also not for use in people with artificial (prosthetic) heart valves. Therefore, do not take it if you have ever had or plan to have a valve in your heart replaced.
