Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is Ticagrelor used for?
Ticagrelor belongs to a group of medicines called antiplatelet medicines.

Q. How does Ticagrelor work?
Ticagrelor belongs to a group of medicines called antiplatelet drugs. Ticagrelor affects the platelets (also called thrombocytes).

However, platelets can also form clots inside diseased blood vessels in the heart and brain. This can be very dangerous. Ticagrelor works by preventing the clumping of platelets and this reduces the chance of a blood clot forming that can reduce blood flow.
