Ticagrelor

Ticagrelor is a medication used to prevent blood clots in people with certain heart conditions, such as after a heart attack or during a procedure to open blocked arteries. It works by stopping platelets in the blood from sticking together, reducing the risk of clots that can cause heart attacks or strokes. Unlike some other blood thinners, ticagrelor acts quickly and can be adjusted easily. It's important to take it exactly as prescribed, under medical supervision, because it increases bleeding risk. Overall, it helps to keep blood flowing smoothly and reduces cardiovascular event risks.
