Anticoagulant reversal may be needed if you are being treated with an anticoagulant medication like Pradaxa (dabigatran) or Coumadin (warfarin).
Another medication like Praxbind (idarucizumab) or Vitamin K may be given to stop your anticoagulant from working if you need to have emergency surgery or an urgent procedure, or if you have life-threatening or uncontolled bleeding.
