TICAGRELOR 

Overview:

Ticagrelor is a drug that promotes healthy blood circulation and prevents clots that could cause heart attacks or strokes . It works by stopping platelets from sticking together, which lowers the risk of blockages in your arteries. Doctors usually prescribe it for people who have heart problems, like after a heart attack, or those with stents.

Classification: P2Y12 receptor antagonist

Uses:

Ticagrelor is mainly used to prevent blood clots in people at risk of heart attacks, strokes, or complications after a heart procedure.Ticagrelor is used for patients with acute coronary conditions or arterial stents, supporting arterial patency and decreasing future heart risk.

How it works:

Ticagrelor works by blocking a receptor called P2Y12 on platelets, which normally helps them stick together and form clots. By preventing platelets from clumping, it reduces the risk of dangerous blood clots in the arteries. This keeps blood flowing smoothly, lowering the chances of heart attacks, strokes, and problems after stent placement.

Dosage: As prescribed by your doctor.

Side Effects:

• Bleeding or easy bruising
• Shortness of breath (dyspnea)
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Headache
• Nausea or upset stomach

Precautions:

Before taking Ticagrelor, it’s important to tell your doctor about any history of bleeding disorders, recent surgery, or strokes, since the drug increases the risk of bleeding. People taking other blood-thinning medications should use it carefully to avoid excessive bleeding. Inform your physician about all drugs and supplements you use to avoid interactions. If you develop unexpected bleeding, severe bruises, or shortness of breath, get medical attention immediately.
