and don't stop taking pradaxa without your doctor's approval as stopping may increase your stroke risk. other side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. pradaxa is progress. if you have afib not caused by a heart valve problem, ask your doctor if you can reduce your risk of stroke with pradaxa. ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] introducing new dentyne split to fit pack. ♪ ♪ it splits in to two smaller sleeker packs that fit almost anywhere... ♪ ♪ ...so you can take them everywhere. ♪ ♪ dentyne split to fit. practice safe breath.
