What is Brilinta and what is it used for:
Brilinta is a medication used to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in people with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), a condition in which the blood supply to the heart is blocked or reduced. It works by preventing platelets in the blood from sticking together and forming clots. Brilinta is typically used in combination with aspirin.
How to take Brilinta:
Brilinta is taken orally, usually twice daily, with or without food. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor, as suddenly stopping Brilinta can increase the risk of blood clots.
Possible side effects of Brilinta:
Brilinta may cause some side effects, including:
Bleeding or bruising
Shortness of breath
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Headache
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea or constipation
Rash or itching
If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience any signs of bleeding, such as unusual bruising or bleeding from the gums, nosebleeds, or blood in the urine or stool.
Precautions and warnings for Brilinta:
Before taking Brilinta, inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions, such as liver or kidney disease or a history of bleeding disorders. Brilinta may interact with certain medications, including other blood-thinning medications, antiplatelet medications, and certain antibiotics and antifungal medications. It is important to inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you are taking.
Brilinta should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. It is not known if Brilinta passes into breast milk, so it is important to consult your doctor before taking Brilinta while breastfeeding.
It is important to attend regular doctor appointments and report any new or worsening symptoms to your healthcare provider while taking Brilinta.
