Brilinta (ticagrelor) is a blood-thinning medication used to lower the risk of having a stroke or serious heart problems after a heart attack or severe chest pain (angina). It works by preventing platelets in your blood from sticking together to form an unwanted blood clot that could block an artery.

How is this medication used?

Brilinta is usually taken with aspirin unless your doctor tells you otherwise. It's important to follow your doctor's directions closely. The usual dose is one 90 mg tablet taken twice a day for the first year after a heart attack or severe chest pain episode. After the first year, your doctor may reduce the dose to 60 mg twice a day.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects of Brilinta include bleeding more easily, shortness of breath, headache, dizziness, nausea, and an increased risk of bruising. Severe bleeding, including internal bleeding, can occur but is less common.

What are the potential interactions?

Brilinta can interact with several other medications, including NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), SSRIs and SNRIs (types of antidepressants), and other blood thinners. It's important to tell your doctor about all the medications you're taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to avoid potential interactions.
