An oral thrombin inhibitor. It belongs to the group of so-called non–vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) or direct anticoagulants.
Used in the prevention of venous thromboembolism in orthopedic surgery and atrial fibrillation.
Oral administration in a daily dose.
It is excreted in breastmilk in clinically insignificant amounts (Ayuk 2020 & 2016).
Its low oral bioavailability (EMA 2018, Blech 2008) hinders transfer to infant plasma via breastmilk, except in premature infants and the immediate neonatal period when there may be increased intestinal permeability.
It is the oral anticoagulant with the lowest excretion in breast milk (Daei 2021).
