Brilinta 90 Tablet is an antiplatelet medication (blood thinner) used to prevent the formation of blood clots in individuals with a history of heart attack, unstable angina, or those who have had stents placed in their arteries. It is commonly prescribed along with low-dose aspirin to lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and blood clots in coronary stents. Brilinta helps keep blood flowing smoothly in the arteries, reducing the chance of serious cardiovascular events.

How Brilinta 90 Tablet works
Brilinta 90mg Tablet contains Ticagrelor, an antiplatelet agent. It works by blocking a receptor (P2Y12) on platelets, which prevents them from sticking together. When platelets clump, they form clots that can block blood flow. Brilinta reduces this risk by keeping blood platelets slippery and less likely to clump. This helps prevent heart attacks and strokes, especially after stenting or acute coronary syndrome. It does not dissolve existing clots but prevents new ones from forming. Regular use is crucial. Do not skip doses, even if you feel fine. Stopping the medication suddenly may raise the risk of a serious cardiovascular event.
