Ticagrelor Stada
This medicine, Ticagrelor Stada, helps prevent blood clots from forming by stopping blood cells called platelets from clumping together, reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death.
How to Use
Dosage
Take one tablet (60 mg or 90 mg) twice a day, as prescribed by your doctor.
Method
You can take the tablet with or without food. If you find it hard to swallow, crush the tablet into a fine powder, mix it with half a glass of water, stir, and drink immediately. Rinse the glass with another half glass of water and drink to ensure all medicine is taken.
Follow your doctor's instructions. The usual maximum is one tablet twice a day (e.g., 90mg twice a day equals 180mg).
