Pradaxa – consider age and follow dose recommendations

In March, in collaboration with the Thrombosis Centre in Aalborg, the Danish Health and Medicines Authority published an evaluation of all adverse reaction reports in Danish Pharmacovigilance Update for the period 22 August 2011 up to and including 23 February 2012 in connection with a new indication (prevention of apoplexy in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation) for Pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate). With this announcement, we once more want to call attention to the development in consumption, reported adverse reactions, age and dose recommendations.
