Product Introduction
Brilinta 60mg Tablet is an antiplatelet agent containing ticagrelor. It is used to prevent blood clots in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), including unstable angina or myocardial infarction. The medication is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergic reactions to ticagrelor or other ingredients.
Inform your doctor if you are scheduled for surgery, including dental procedures. Due to increased bleeding risk, your physician may advise discontinuation five days prior to surgery. If you develop irregular breathing patterns—including acceleration, deceleration, or brief pauses in breathing—seek medical evaluation.

How it works

Take the Brilinta 60mg Tablet as advised by your physician. Do not crush, chew, or open the medicine. Your physician will decide the correct dosage and duration based on age, body weight, and disease condition. Only stop taking the tablet if your doctor advises you to stop.
