What is Brilinta?

Brilinta contains the active ingredient ticagrelor and belongs to a drug class called antiplatelets, or platelet aggregation inhibitors. It's a prescription medicine that's used to prevent heart attacks and lower the risk of stroke in people who have acute coronary syndrome or who have had a heart attack. Brilinta blocks platelets and thins the blood, which helps prevent clotting.

What doses of Brilinta are available?

Brilinta is available in 60 mg and 90 mg tablets. It's usually taken twice a day, so 60 tablets gives you a 30-day supply. It can be taken with or without food, though your doctor may have a preference based on your condition. Brilinta is usually taken with a low-dose (75 to 100 mg) aspirin. Follow your doctor's instructions and refer to the medication guide for full prescribing information.

What are the side effects of Brilinta?

Common side effects of blood thinners, like Brilinta, are shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea, and diarrhea. Brilinta can also cause bruising or minor bleeding that occurs more often than normal. You can help prevent bleeding gums by brushing your teeth gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush. You can prevent nosebleeds by using a humidifier at home and, if necessary, blowing your nose gently. Consult a healthcare professional for medical advice if any of these side effects get worse. Get emergency medical help if you have bleeding that won’t stop, black or bloody stools, red or pink urine, or if you are coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds. Severe bleeding can be life-threatening or cause death, so always get medical advice for bleeding, even if you are unsure if it is an emergency.
