Doctors recommend ticagrelor 90 mg because it helps in reducing the risk of blood clots, improving heart health, and lowering the chances of repeated cardiac events. Whether you know it as ticagrelor 90, tab ticagrelor 90 mg, or simply ticagrelor tablets, this medication has become a trusted choice for millions worldwide.

What is Ticagrelor 90 mg?

Ticagrelor belongs to a class of medicines called antiplatelet agents. Unlike blood thinners such as warfarin, ticagrelor does not thin the blood but works by preventing platelets (a type of blood cell) from clumping together and forming clots. This significantly reduces the risk of blockages in blood vessels that may lead to heart attack or stroke.

Ticagrelor 90 mg Uses

Doctors prescribe ticagrelor 90 mg tablets for the following conditions:

• To prevent blood clots in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS)

• After angioplasty or stent placement to avoid clot-related complications

• To lower the risk of recurrent heart attack or stroke

• For patients with unstable angina (chest pain due to poor blood flow)

• As part of long-term management for individuals at high cardiovascular risk

Ticagrelor Mechanism of Action

The ticagrelor mechanism of action is unique compared to other antiplatelet drugs.

• Ticagrelor blocks a specific receptor on platelets called P2Y12 receptor.

• This prevents platelet activation and aggregation (clumping).

• By doing so, it reduces the formation of harmful clots in arteries, lowering the risk of heart attack and stroke.

• Its effects are reversible, meaning platelets return to normal function once the drug is stopped.

Dosage of Tab Ticagrelor 90 mg

• The usual recommended dose is 90 mg twice daily, taken with or without food.

• Patients may also be prescribed ticagrelor along with low-dose aspirin (75–100 mg daily).

• Never skip or stop taking ticagrelor without medical advice, as doing so increases the risk of heart attack or stent blockage.

• Always follow your doctor’s exact instructions regarding the tab ticagrelor 90 mg dosage.
