prevention of thromboembolism in atrial fibrillation
"I've taken Pradaxa for two weeks and have seen a great reduction in the soreness in my joints and muscles vs Coumadin.  I have also seen a steady improvement in my stamina levels.  I also believe small nicks and cuts heal a little faster and bleeding is not quite as pronounced as with Coumadin when you do accidentally nick yourself.  I haven't experienced any digestive problems as listed as a side effect.  It may be too soon the pass judgment on this drug because of the short time I've taken it.  

The only negative I've found so far is the expense of Pradaxa. It is SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than Coumadin and I hope the manufacturer of this drug will work to reduce the cost so more people can benefit from it."
