Brilinta Description
Brilinta ( Ticagrelor) is a new cardiac medication used to prevent heart attacks, strokes and deaths. It is indicated for the prevention of atherothrombotic events in adult patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes (unstable angina, non ST elevation myocardial infarction [NSTEMI] or ST elevation Myocardial Infarction [STEMI]); including patients managed medically, and those who are managed with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery by-pass grafting (CABG). Take Brilinta exactly as it has been prescribed for you.
Brilinta Directions
Brilinta treatment should be initiated with a single 180 mg loading dose (two tablets of 90 mg) and then continued at 90 mg twice daily.Patients taking Brilinta should also take ASA daily, unless specifically contraindicated. Following an initial dose of ASA, Brilinta should be used with a maintenance dose of ASA of 75-150 mg. Treatment is recommended for up to 12 months unless discontinuation of Brilinta is clinically indicated. Experience beyond 12 months is limited. In patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS), premature discontinuation with any antiplatelet therapy, including Brilinta could result in an increased risk of cardiovascular death, or myocardial infarction due to the patient's underlying disease. Therefore premature discontinuation of treatment should be avoided. Lapses in therapy should also be avoided. A patient who misses a dose of Brilinta should take only one 90 mg tablet (their next dose) at its scheduled time. Patients treated with clopidogrel can be directly switched to Brilinta if needed. Switching from prasugrel to Brilinta has not been investigated.
