Introduction of Ticagat 90mg Tablet (Ticagrelor)
Ticagat 90mg Tablet contains Ticagrelor, a potent oral antiplatelet medication used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke. It works by inhibiting platelet aggregation, preventing blood clots from forming in the arteries. Ticagrelor is commonly prescribed in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or those who have undergone procedures like angioplasty or stent placement.
Unlike some traditional antiplatelet drugs, Ticagrelor acts more rapidly and provides more consistent platelet inhibition. It is usually prescribed along with low-dose aspirin as part of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for better protection against clot-related complications.
