Audited Supplier Ticagrelor is used to lower your risk of heart attack, stroke, or death due to a blocked artery or a prior heart attack.
Ticagrelor is also used to lower your risk of blood clots if you have coronary artery disease (decreased blood flow to the heart) and have been treated with stents to open clogged arteries.
Ticagrelor is also used to lower your risk of a first heart attack or stroke if you have decreased blood flow to the heart.
Ticagrelor is also used to lower the risk of stroke and death in adults with a blockage or decreased blood flow in an artery that supplies blood to the brain.
Ticagrelor is usually given together with low-dose aspirin. Carefully follow your doctor's dosing instructions. Using too much aspirin can make ticagrelor less effective.
Ticagrelor may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
You should not use ticagrelor if you have any active bleeding or a history of bleeding in the brain. Do not use ticagrelor just before heart bypass surgery.
Ticagrelor may cause you to bleed more easily, which can be severe or life-threatening. Call your doctor or seek emergency medical attention if you have bleeding that will not stop, black or bloody stools, red or pink urine, or if you cough up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds.
Tell your doctor about all your current medicines and any you start or stop using. Many drugs can interact with ticagrelor.
Do not stop taking ticagrelor without first talking to your doctor, even if you have signs of bleeding. Stopping ticagrelor may increase your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
You should not use ticagrelor if you are allergic to it, or if you have:
any active bleeding; or
a history of bleeding in the brain (such as from a head injury).
Tell your doctor if you have ever had:
a stroke;
heart problems;
a surgery or bleeding injury;
bleeding problems;
a stomach ulcer or colon polyps;
liver disease; or
asthma, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder) or other breathing problem.
It is not known whether this medicine will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
You should not breastfeed while using ticagrelor.
Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have:
slow heartbeats;
nosebleeds, or any bleeding that will not stop;
shortness of breath even with mild exertion or while lying down;
easy bruising, unusual bleeding, purple or red spots under your skin;
red, pink, or brown urine;
black, bloody, or tarry stools; or
coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds.
Common side effects may include:
bleeding; or
shortness of breath.
Sometimes it is not safe to use certain medications at the same time. Some drugs can affect your blood levels of other drugs you take, which may increase side effects or make the medications less effective.
Tell your doctor about all your current medicines. Many drugs can affect ticagrelor, especially:
antifungal medicine;
antiviral medicine to treat HIV or AIDS;
a blood thinner;
cholesterol medication;
heart or blood pressure medication;
opioid medication;
seizure medicine; or
tuberculosis medicine.
This list is not complete and many other drugs may affect ticagrelor. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Not all possible drug interactions are listed here.
