| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR BRILINTA | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | Heart attack and stent put in. | Shortness of breath, diarrhea, coughing up blood clots, vomiting 🤮, chest pains. No energy at all. | This drug does more harm than good. That should be the litmus test for FDA approval not how much some FDA person can get paid by BRILINTA’S maker. | M | 55 | 3 days 90 | 12/28/2017 | 1 | MI in May 2017 | Extreme dyspnea, can't wash, can't make a cup of coffee or sandwich, climb stairs without collapsing and gasping for air. Spoke doctor who said it is a "normal medication" he reduced dose to 45mg / day two days ago, no difference at all. No quality of life at all cannot leave my house without assistance. | I feel worse with regards to health than when I had my MI. Have been told that I will need to take this appalling drug for another year (I don't think so). No quality of life at all, confined to house cannot even enjoy my garden. If there is no quality in life what's the point as this cannot continue like this. This is what this drug makes you feel like. Terrible and slow poison somebody needs to review this stuff seriously and remove it from the doctors arsenal of prescribed medications. | 65 | 210 days 90 2X day | 12/21/2017 | 1 | Stent placement | Shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, dizziness, feeling faint. | I have taken 4 other drugs for heart failure before starting Brilinta without difficulty. Switched from Plavix to Brilinta and that is when the side effects started - the worst of any drug I have taken. | M | 63 | 60 days 90 2X day | 12/20/2017 | 2 | Angioplasty x 3 stents, CAD | Easily and excessively bruise. The slightest bump results in a large, painful hematoma with large hard lumps under the area and take weeks to lighten. Shortness of breath with random sudden instances of hyperventilation in conjunction with anxiety like symptoms (even when not anxious about anything). Memory fog, especially in language retrieval, aka Anomia. Excessive bleeding and duration of menses. I am 5'3", weigh 145lbs. | Had two stent placement after sever chest pain for 6 months. Saw cardiologist and dxed with CAD thought to be genetic related. I suspect my Dr getting kickback for this med. Told him I want off and switched to Plavix. He refused saying they need more research and actually wants me on it for 5 years. I was not given any info on this medication when started, I was half knocked out on the procedure table when told to swallow two pills. This stuff is horrible. Affecting my life and job. Looking for new cardiologist who will get me off this crap. | F | 44 | 16 weeks 90 Mg 2X day | 11/16/2017 | 2 | Easily and excessively bruise. The slightest bump results in a large, painful hematoma with large hard lumps under the area and take weeks to lighten. Shortness of breath with random sudden instances of hyperventilation in conjunction with anxiety like symptoms (even when not anxious about anything). Memory fog, especially in language retrieval, aka Anomia. Excessive bleeding and duration of menses. I am 5'3", weigh 145lbs, CAD and 3 stents. | F | 44 | 16 weeks 90 Mg 2X day | 11/16/2017 | 1 | heart attack with stent placement | Labored breathing, chest discomfort and pain, weird headaches. Heart attack symptoms without the actual heart attack. | These side effects gradually worsened the longer I took it. Began having panic attacks due to feeling like another heart attack was happening. Went to emergency clinic 3 different times, thinking I was having another attack. No. Just brilinta side effects. Heart was functioning normally. EKG normal, blood pressure normal. Today, I was switched to Plavix by a different Cardiologist (my former one would NOT listen to me. Insisted that Brilinta was the ONLY drug he would prescribe. Suspect he was bedmates with AstraZeneca). Horrible drug! | M | 56 | 9 months 90 2X day | 11/4/2017 | 1 | Stenting | DYSPNEA Laryngitis. Malaise | Garbage ...poison | M | 70 | 90 days | 10/26/2017 | 1 | Stents | Shortness of breath, fatigue, memory loss, gastric bleed. Lost seven pints of blood.. | This is a terrible medicine and should be taken off the market. I am no longer taking this medication. | F | 70 | 270 days 45 mg 2X day | 10/15/2017 | 1 | Stents | Shortness of breath, fatigue, memory loss, gastric bleed. Lost seven pints of blood.. | This is a terrible medicine and should be taken off the market. I am no longer taking this medication. | F | 70 | 270 days 45 mg 2X day | 10/15/2017 | 1 | 2 stents. RCA 100% blocked | Insomnia. Anxiety. Panic attacks. Depression. Chest pain. | This was my fear, that whatever medication I'd be given post-procedure (2 stents; I had not yet had a coronary event luckily) would affect me adversely. This is the point I'd like to make here: after doing a lot of web-based research, I asked to switch to Plavix. Started Plavix on the 9th day after the procedure, and now I could sleep, panic attacks subsided; however, the chest pain remains somewhat. Ironic that I had stents put in for chest pain, now I have worse chest pain. Perhaps when I come off the Plavix in a year or so, CP will subside. | M | 64 | 8 days 90 2X day | 8/18/2017 | 1 | Took before stent procedure | Short of breath, anxiety, hallucinations | F | 60 | 1 days | 8/16/2017 | 1 | 2 heart attacks 2 stents put in | Extreme s.o.b - skin so dry getting skin tears and bruising all over like I've been beat up / can't sleep / short urine stream / constipation / drinking fluids but still can't maintain hydration / muscle cramps / and just fatigued all the time / can't remember things sometimes been to hospital twice | This drug is a major killer !! I'm worse than before I had stents put in !!! I think it should be removed from the market !!! I have no quality of life ! | F | 53 | 2 months 90 mg 2 x | 8/14/2017 | 1 | Heart attack stemi | Shortness of breath' easily bruised.

That is very tiresome. I don't stop bleeding! Oh, also bruises appear both magically and take too long to go away. | M | 62 | 4 months 12 2X day | 5/27/2017 | 4 | 3 Stents | Slight shortness of breath sometimes while at rest.
