About Brilinta 90 mg Tablet 14’s

Brilinta 90mg Tablet 14’s helps to prevent blood clots in people with acute coronary syndrome (heart doesn’t receive enough oxygen) who have had stents placed in blood vessels in their heart. A heart attack occurs when a blood clot blocks the blood flow to the heart. This blockage of arteries is most often an accumulation of cholesterol, fat, and other substances, which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries). Signs of a heart attack include chest pain, upper body pain, sweating, nausea, fatigue, and trouble breathing.

The clot can stop blood flowing to the heart or brain and cause a heart attack or stroke. Here, Brilinta 90 mg Tablet 14’s slows the blood’s clotting action by making platelets less sticky.
