Pradaxa medication for the prevention of stroke has now been approved by Health Canada, and is now available to buy from Canada pharmacies online, including the market leading pharmacy Big Mountain Drugs. It has been approved for the use in patients for who anticoagulation medications are appropriate. The approval makes Pradaxa available for AF patients in Canada. The150mg dose is recommended for patients; however a lower 110mg dose is available for patients at high risk of bleeding or for patients over the age of 80.

AF is the most common heart rhythm illness and affects approximately 1% of adults, and affects 10% in elderly patients aged 80 or over. People with AF have a higher risk of blood clotting, which increases the risk of stroke five-fold. Three million people globally suffer strokes each year, and around half of people die within 12 months.

Other Stroke Medications from Online Canadian Pharmacies

BigMountainDrugs.com also offers a wide range of other prescription medications for the treatment of AF related strokes, including Coumadin (Warfarin), which is a blood thinner and Rendix which contains the same chemicals as PRADAXA. Online Canadian pharmacies have been saving lives for many years, since they offer medication at much lower cost than American pharmacies, which allows patients with low income or with no prescription insurance to keep their costs down.

A stroke can often occur suddenly and without warning, so it can be a scary experience for the patient and for their close family. A stroke is a brain attack. For your brain to function correctly it requires a constant supply of blood which carries oxygen to the cells in the brain. When the blood supply is cut off to some part of the brain, the brain cells become damaged and some die. This is a stroke. The symptoms of a stroke include paralysis (commonly on one side of the body or face), and the patient may feel weak or numb. Speech is often slurred and vision can be lost.

How a patient is affected by stroke really depends on which part of the brain is affected. Speech, vision, and movement can all be affected by a stroke. It can also affect the thought processes of the patient making it difficult to communicate and function properly.

Buy Pradaxa from online Canadian pharmacies does not help a stroke after it has happened, but helps to prevent a stroke from occurring in the first place. Of course, this is important to patients with increased risk of stroke.
