Abstract
Dabigatran etexilate is a new oral drug with little side effects than other anticoagulant drugs. It has a direct thrombin inhibition and is used to treat deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Escitalopram belongs to the group of medications called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It works by increasing levels of a neurotransmitter called serotonin in the brain. Increased serotonin levels can lead to an improved mood. This study aims to evaluate the synergistic or the antagonistic interaction which may occur between some common remedies with the oral administration of Dabigitran and Cipralex.
