Description
Brigrel Tablet is a prescription medicine containing Ticagrelor 90mg, an antiplatelet agent that helps prevent the formation of harmful blood clots. It is commonly prescribed for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), those who have suffered a heart attack (myocardial infarction), or patients who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent placement.
Ticagrelor works by preventing platelets from clumping together, reducing the risk of blocked arteries that can lead to heart attacks or strokes. It is often prescribed along with low-dose aspirin, unless otherwise directed by a doctor.
