About ASPIRIN+TICAGRELOR
ASPIRIN+TICAGRELOR belongs to the class of antiplatelet drugs used to prevent heart attack and stroke. A heart attack is a critical medical emergency in which the blood supply to the heart is interrupted or blocked, typically by a blood clot. Signs of a heart attack include chest discomfort or pain, pain in other parts of the body, sweating, shortness of breath, nausea, fatigue and anxiety.
ASPIRIN+TICAGRELOR is a combination of two blood thinners: aspirin and ticagrelor. ASPIRIN+TICAGRELOR prevents platelets from adhering together, reducing the formation of harmful blood clots. This decreases the likelihood of having a heart attack or stroke.

Most of these side effects do not necessitate medical treatment and fade away with time. However, if the side effects persist, consult your doctor.
Inform your doctor if you are allergic to ticagrelor or aspirin, have kidney/liver impairment, or have bleeding problems. Let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or are a nursing mother. Do not quit taking ASPIRIN+TICAGRELOR on your own without consulting a doctor. Stopping ASPIRIN+TICAGRELOR may aggravate your condition and raise the risk of having a further heart attack. ASPIRIN+TICAGRELOR may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert.
