All that information would be covered in the British National Formulary book
bnf.org I don't know if they publish these details on line. Our BNF is dated Sept 2009 so out of date.

This could be what you need.
Only the basics...slaney will give an expert opinion here BUT:
Dabigatrin....acts straight away unlike Warfarin.You don't need blood tests, unlike warfarin..and there are no dietary restricions.

Apixaban has the same advantages as above.

Both are expensive, very expensive....100times more than Warfarin ( I think)

I have not mentioned the indications for their use or how they tin the blood, but you can Google it.
