The medication works by blocking the P2Y12 receptor on platelets to prevent platelet activation. Without that activation, platelets in your blood are less sticky, so they don\u2019t form clots as easily. It has similar effects to blood thinners (also known as anticoagulants), like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/warfarin-sodium\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coumadin (warfarin)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you take Brilinta with alcohol?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/blood-thinners-and-alcohol\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blood thinners<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Brilinta and alcohol can decrease blood clots. Drinking alcohol in moderation is not likely to cause severe side effects during treatment with Brilinta. Moderate alcohol consumption is defined by the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niaaa.nih.gov\/alcohol-health\/overview-alcohol-consumption\/moderate-binge-drinking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as two drinks or less per day for men and one drink or less per day for women.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The potential risks of combining Brilinta and alcohol are more apparent in cases of excessive alcohol consumption, chronic alcohol use, or alcohol abuse. Men who drink more than four drinks on any given day or more than 14 drinks per week may be at a high risk of bleeding while taking Brilinta. Women who drink more than three drinks on any given day or more than seven drinks per week may be at a high risk of bleeding while taking Brilinta.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment with Brilinta includes a daily aspirin, which also works as a blood thinner to stop the production of blood clots. Therefore, there may be an increased risk of bleeding when combining Brilinta, aspirin, and alcohol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/drugs\/questions-answers\/aspirin-questions-and-answers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FDA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, people who consume three or more drinks per day should use caution while taking aspirin.

Alcohol use in moderation may help decrease the formation of blood clots and improve blood flow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heavy alcohol use, in contrast, may increase the risk of a stroke or heart attack. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5662358\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">studies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, regular binge drinking is associated with an increased risk of stroke. Long-term, excessive alcohol intake can also affect the liver and cause alcohol-related liver disease. Alcohol misuse over time can cause fat buildup (fatty liver disease) and extensive damage in the liver.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brilinta is primarily <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK548529\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">processed in the liver<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and should not be used in people with severe liver disease. People with liver disease who take Brilinta may be at an increased risk of bleeding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The side effects of alcohol and Brilinta can overlap. Both Brilinta and alcohol can cause dizziness, nausea, and stomach upset. Combining Brilinta and alcohol use may lead to an increased risk of experiencing these side effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking out for your health\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking Brilinta and drinking alcohol is not an ideal combination. However, in most cases, light-to-moderate alcohol consumption is not likely to cause significant harm with Brilinta. Instead, it is strongly recommended to avoid excessive alcohol consumption while taking Brilinta.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because Brilinta needs to be taken with a daily dose of aspirin, it\u2019s best to use caution when considering alcohol use during treatment with both Brilinta and aspirin. The risk of bleeding may be increased when drinking alcohol and taking two blood thinners instead of one. If you have concerns about Brilinta and alcohol use, consult with your healthcare provider for more information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brilinta (ticagrelor) is a prescription antiplatelet medication typically used to prevent blood clots that can trigger major cardiovascular events.
