About Ticabid Tablet

TICAGRELOR belongs to the antiplatelet drugs (blood thinners) primarily taken for the prevention of heart attack or stroke in people at high risk of heart disease.  TICAGRELOR helps to prevent blood clots in people with acute coronary syndrome (heart doesn't receive enough oxygen) who have had stents placed in blood vessels in their heart. A heart attack occurs when a blood clot blocks the blood flow to the heart. This blockage of arteries is most often an accumulation of cholesterol, fat, and other substances, which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries). Signs of a heart attack include chest pain, upper body pain, sweating, nausea, fatigue, and trouble breathing.

TICAGRELOR is a blood thinner that prevents the formation of a clot in the blood vessels. Platelets are blood cells that stick together and block any cuts and breaks in blood vessels. But in people at risk of heart attack or stroke, platelets can stick together inside already narrowed blood vessels to form a clot. The clot can stop blood flowing to the heart or brain and cause a heart attack or stroke. Here, TICAGRELOR slows the blood's clotting action by making platelets less sticky.
