About Clotchk 75mg Capsule

Clotchk 75mg Capsule belongs to a class of drugs known as anticoagulants or blood thinners used to prevent and treat the risk of stroke, heart attack in patients with atrial fibrillation (irregular heart rhythm) by reducing blood clot formation. Besides this, it is also used to prevent deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in leg veins), pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung), and to reduce the risk of clots in people who have undergone knee or hip replacement surgeries. 

Clotchk 75mg Capsule contains Dabigatran etexilate that works by inhibiting the production of clotting factor Xa, also called thrombin.
