Abstract
Dabigatran etexilate is a prodrug with anticoagulant effect through inhibition of thrombin. Although it does not require laboratorymonitoring and has minimal food-drug interaction, its disadvantages are bleeding, common GIS-related side effects and the need fordosage adjustment according to the severity of liver/renal failure. We aimed to present and discuss an unusual side effect of dabigatranetexilate.
