About this item
INTRODUCTION ABOUT BRILINTA 90MG TABLET
BRILINTA 90MG TABLET contains ticagrelor which belongs to the group of medicines called antiplatelet agents. It is used to reduce the rate of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction and stroke in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or a history of myocardial infarction. It also reduces the rate of stent thrombosis in patients who have been stented for management of ACS.
Ticagrelor stops clumping of blood cells called platelets, which is responsible for clot formation in diseased blood vessels of heart and brain and thus reduces the chances of a blood clot formation. It can be taken with or without food.
Avoid concomitant use of ticagrelor and other oral anticoagulants like heparin or warfarin, as it may increase the risk of side effects. Do not take this medicine if you are suffering from any bleeding disorders or liver problems. This medicine is not recommended for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women and in children aged below 18 years. The most common side effect of taking this medicine are bleeding and bruising.
USES OF BRILINTA 90MG TABLET
- Used to reduce the rate of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction and stroke in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or a history of myocardial infarction
HOW BRILINTA 90MG TABLET WORKS
Ticagrelor is a potent P2Y12 receptor antagonist. In diseased blood vessels, platelets can form thrombus (blood clot) by binding to the arterial surface. Activated platelets produces ADP3 which binds to P2Y12 receptor and propagates thrombus formation. Ticagrelor reversibly binds to P2Y12 receptor instead of ADP3 and prevents the signal transduction and platelet activation, that can lead to blood clot formation.
