Ticaguard 90mg Tablet is an antiplatelet medicine, also known as a blood thinner. It works by reducing the formation of harmful blood clots in blood vessels, which helps prevent heart attacks and strokes in individuals with heart disease.
Ticaguard 90mg Tablet is also used to treat people who have recently had a heart attack or experience severe heart-related chest pain (unstable angina) and have undergone stenting. In such cases, it helps prevent serious heart-related issues, such as another heart attack, stroke, or blood clot formation in the stents.
Your doctor may also prescribe aspirin, another antiplatelet medication, to be taken alongside Ticaguard 90mg Tablet. This medication can be taken with or without food but should be taken consistently at the same time each day. It is crucial to continue taking it even if you feel well, as stopping the medication may increase your risk of another heart attack or stroke.
The most common side effect of Ticaguard 90mg Tablet is bleeding. If you cut or injure yourself, it may take longer for the bleeding to stop. These bleeding episodes are generally mild and resolve on their own. Some individuals may also experience mild breathlessness after taking the medication, which typically improves with continued use. However, inform your doctor if the bleeding persists or if the breathlessness worsens or does not go away.
Ticaguard 90mg Tablet is not suitable for everyone. Do not take it if you have active bleeding, such as from a stomach ulcer or bleeding in the brain. It is also not recommended for individuals with liver disease. Before starting this medication, inform your doctor of any existing health conditions.
