Hi
I've been on PRADAXA now for 5 years 3months.
No problems. My triage team when I was 70 after stroke prescribed 110mg x twice day I also had Thyroid cancer which needed attending to. Op.
Transferred on day 4.
My local hospital discharged me on 150mg x twice dsy.
When I found the switch I had it chamged back.
No probems on PRADAXA.

I chose PRADAXA twice a day as I figured any overdose would not be as ectreme of taking 2 full doses not long apart.
At night I put out 2 doses and have 1 x 10pm. and as the other is sitting out take the other at 10am after doses of Synthyroid for thyroid and an hour later or so Diltiazem AM then at 10am take the other.
Once in 5 years I wasn't sure whether I had taken it so I left it out.
With the 3 ops since stroke I follow surgeon/anaesthetist directions no PRADAXA for 3 x 24hour days prior to op.
Then follow their directions after.
I have no medical insurance. Who has when they retire!
Our Whangarei Hospital mostly I put in high esteem.
Never have andocrinologist direct you for op and post in thyroid cancer. I remain under the surgeon as he respects my wishes. I said No and No to the pushy other Dr. To start off she prescribed Metapolol which I said No to bur still prescribed it for one. I suffered breathlessness, 186bpm H/Rate and pauses at night. I have rapid and persistent AF.
