BRILINTA  (TICAGRELOR):  Ticagrelor is used along with low-dose aspirin to help prevent heart attack and stroke in people with heart problems (such as unstable angina, previous heart attack). It may also be used to prevent heart attack or stroke after certain heart surgeries (such as stent placement, coronary artery bypass graft-CABG, or angioplasty). Ticagrelor works by blocking platelets from sticking together and prevents them from forming harmful clots. It is an antiplatelet drug. It keeps blood flowing smoothly in your body.   FDA Approval Date: 2011-07-20 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

Patient History
 3  4 heart stents Coughing, severe bruising, nosebleeds, hard to stop bleeding from any injury. I hate this drug and the bruising it causes to my whole body. Had an object fall on my arm and have a huge lump and black and blue that is not going away anytime soon. I'm wishing I could have stayed on Plavix because even that did not cause the extent of the bruising I'm getting now. F 68 5 months

 3  I had 2 stents in my heart I too have had a dry cough for 2 months. I'm not sure if its related to the Drug. It seems to have reduced my chest discomfort. I used to take Plavix after my first stent was placed in my heart a year ago. When my 2nd stent was placed in my heart two months ago they switched me to Brilinta. Most of the other Doctors I see never heard of this Drug. I understand it is a new drug but nevertheless it makes me slightly nervous taking. But my cardiologist wants me to stay on this drug. F 55 2 months

 2  Had a stent inserted in the heart Shortness of breath, dry cough, blood pressure has risen I see my Cardiologist next week concerning these side effects. The cough I can handle but the shortness of breath I can't (especially since I already have COPD). Really can't blame the rise in blood pressure on this med as I'm not sure. F 73 6 weeks
