I have been on Pradaxa since June 2011 and have had no side effects. My previous medication for A-Fib was coumadin. Do not miss the monthly blood tests. I am very pleased with Pradaxa. I also have R.A. and I feel the drug even helps me with that.

Very difficult to open individual foil pill paackages.Not designed for anyone who has had a stroke and might not have full hand/finger function.Manufacturer forgot that stroke survivors would be using the peoduct. Very dumb on their part.
