Ticagrelor (60mg)

About Ticagrelor (60mg)

TICAGROWN 60 is a medication designed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes in patients with a history of heart disease. Each tablet contains 60mg of Ticagrelor, a potent antiplatelet agent that helps prevent blood clots from forming in the arteries. This medication is often prescribed to patients who have had a recent heart attack or severe chest pain that required hospitalization, and it is typically used in combination with low-dose aspirin. By inhibiting platelet aggregation, TICAGROWN 60 plays a crucial role in managing cardiovascular health and improving patient outcomes.

Key Benefits:

• Reduces Risk of Heart Attack and Stroke: By preventing platelets from clumping, TICAGROWN 60 significantly lowers the risk of heart attacks and strokes in patients with cardiovascular disease.
• Improves Blood Flow: Helps maintain smooth blood flow through the arteries, reducing the likelihood of clots that can block blood vessels.
• Enhances Overall Cardiovascular Health: Regular use of TICAGROWN 60, in conjunction with lifestyle changes and other medications, contributes to better heart health and longevity.
• Prevents Complications in High-Risk Patients: Particularly beneficial for patients who have recently experienced a heart attack or have undergone procedures like angioplasty or stenting.

How Does It Work?

Ticagrelor, the active ingredient in TICAGROWN 60, works by inhibiting the P2Y12 receptor on platelets. This receptor is crucial for platelet activation and aggregation, processes that lead to the formation of blood clots. By blocking this receptor, Ticagrelor prevents platelets from sticking together, thereby reducing the risk of clots forming within the arteries. This action helps maintain open blood vessels, ensuring that oxygen-rich blood can flow freely to the heart and other vital organs, which is essential for preventing heart attacks and strokes.
