In brief
Brilinta (ticagrelor) is prescribed for people who have had acute coronary syndrome, to lower the risk of a heart attack or unstable angina by making platelets less likely to clump into dangerous clots.
Brilinta (ticagrelor): what it does
People who have been through acute coronary syndrome may be prescribed Brilinta to help stop a heart attack or unstable angina from happening. Ticagrelor, its active ingredient, makes platelets less sticky so they are less likely to form dangerous clots, as set out in the Brilinta consumer medicine information.
This listing shows ticagrelor 60 mg and 90 mg. It does not name the manufacturer of the tablets supplied, so check the label on the pack you receive and confirm with your prescriber or pharmacist that it matches your prescription.
Which strengths are listed
In Australia, AstraZeneca’s consumer information describes 90 mg film-coated and orally dispersible tablets; the 60 mg strength offered here is not covered by it.

Situations where Brilinta must not be used
Bleeding problems, for example an ulcer bleeding into the stomach or bowel, are a reason not to take it. So are severe liver disease and any history of a haemorrhagic (bleeding) stroke. Ketoconazole, clarithromycin, nefazodone, ritonavir and atazanavir are not to be taken together with Brilinta.
Taking Brilinta every day
For the 90 mg tablets, the consumer information asks for regular doses at fixed times each day, with or without a meal. Talk to your doctor before you stop; the consumer information warns against stopping without that conversation.
Bleeding: what raises the risk
Bleeding is more likely while on Brilinta, and operations and dental treatment are the times highlighted. NSAID pain relievers, certain anticoagulants and SSRI antidepressants can push the risk higher.
Breathlessness and other effects
More than 10% of people taking Brilinta notice shortness of breath. The heart rate can also become slow or irregular.
Storing the blister packs
AstraZeneca asks for the tablets to be left in the original blister, under 30 °C and clear of heat and moisture. Follow the storage directions on the pack you receive.
