Pradaxa CAS NO.211915-06-9

Pradaxa is prescribed for people with atrial fibrillation (AF) in order to reduce the risk of stroke. AF is a condition in which the top two chambers of the heart called the atria beat erratically and quickly, sometimes as many as 200-300 times a minute. These irregular beats are too weak to push the blood out of the heart. This allows the blood to pool in the heart, and this stagnant blood can eventually clot. If these clots leave the heart and travel to the brain, they can block blood flow to the brain and cause a stroke. People with AF are four to six times more likely to suffer a stroke than others.
