  • Patent number: 11707455
    Abstract: Disclosed is a pharmaceutical composition containing dabigatran etexilate and a preparation method thereof. The pharmaceutical composition comprises a pharmaceutically active ingredient, dabigatran etexilate and/or dabigatran etexilate mesylate, and a amphiphilic polymer of polyvinyl caprolactam-polyvinyl acetate-polyethylene glycol graft copolymer. The mass ratio of the two is 1:0.23 to 1:3. The pharmaceutical composition not only increases the bioavailability of the pharmaceutically active ingredient, but also reduces absorption variability, and provides a more stable concentration of dabigatran in plasma, thereby reducing adverse side effects.
