FDA Approves First Oral Blood Thinning Medication for Children
FDA.GOV ^

Posted on 08/25/2021 1:56:48 PM PDT by MNDude

the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Pradaxa (dabigatran etexilate) oral pellets to treat children 3 months to less than 12 years old with venous thromboembolism (a condition where blood clots form in the veins) directly after they have been treated with a blood thinner given by injection for at least five days. The FDA also approved Pradaxa oral pellets to prevent recurrent clots among patients 3 months to less than 12 years old who completed treatment for their first venous thromboembolism.

“The FDA is committed to helping our youngest patients with serious medical conditions have treatments that are relatively easy to take,” said Ann Farrell, M.D., director of the Division of Non-Malignant Hematology in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “With today’s approval of Pradaxa, pediatric patients have another therapeutic option to treat and prevent potentially deadly blood clots.”

this is FORCE children into hypoxemia from
masks.

FDA and CDC and the US Congress are as utterly EVIL
as the Nazis ... and unsuprisingly use the same script.

The only reason I can think of to give a child a blood thinner is if they are undergoing chemo therapy, and could be prone to blood clots. My youngest son, now 50, went through six months of chemo after surgery for cancerous polyps. He developed a clot in his lung that was directly linked to the chemo. He had to give himself injections of a blood thinner the rest of the time he was getting chemo treatments.

So it’s an unclotting drug to fight the clotty vaxx-seeny drug?

Sure, makes total sense.

Give ‘em clots, prevent the clots... not sure which way the clots are supposed to go.

Maybe you should post about “coof” and “jab”.

Then you make sense.

My first thought.

How many kids really need blood thinning meds?

This med will kill far more kids that Covid.

Come on guys, I’m sure plenty children have a condition or surgery or cancer where they may need thinners.

The real question here is…uh…ASPIRIN?

This should be the answer…CHILDREN’s ASPIRIN. But now only we adults are allowed to use aspirin, including “children’s aspirin” for thinning.

curse Tylenol and the FDA …another example of being scared =/$$)/=less by a single huckster.
