If you are scheduled for surgery (including dental work), it is important to inform your doctor.

If you develop irregular breathing patterns such as speeding up, slowing down, or experiencing short pauses in breathing, it is recommended to consult your doctor for further evaluation. Brilinta 90mg Tablet is not recommended during pregnancy or if there is a possibility of becoming pregnant.

Uses

How it works

Brilinta 90mg Tablet works by inhibiting platelet activation and aggregation. It specifically blocks a receptor called P2Y12 on the platelets, preventing them from clumping together and forming blood clots. This helps reduce the risk of heart-related events in individuals with ACS.

How to Use

Take the Brilinta 90mg 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.
