Pradaxa vs. Coumadin

Head-to-head comparisons of medication uses, side effects, warnings, and more.

Key takeaways

Pradaxa (dabigatran) and warfarin (Jantoven) are both blood thinners used to prevent blood clots, but they work differently and have distinct features. Pradaxa is taken twice daily and doesn’t require regular blood tests or dietary changes, whereas warfarin is taken once daily, but requires frequent blood tests to monitor INR levels and consistent vitamin K intake. Pradaxa isn’t available as a generic and can be expensive, while warfarin is available as a lower-cost generic. Pradaxa has a higher risk of stomach bleeding and isn’t safe for people with artificial heart valves. Warfarin interacts with many foods and medications. Both medications have antidotes available in case of emergency bleeding.
