Idarucizumab, sold under the brand name Praxbind, is a monoclonal antibody designed for the reversal of anticoagulant effects of dabigatran.[1][2]
This drug was developed by Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals. A large study sponsored by the manufacturer found that idarucizumab effectively reversed anticoagulation by dabigatran within minutes.[3] It was FDA approved in October 2015.[4] In the United States the wholesale cost is $3500 US.[5]
