Is it ok to take Ticagrelor (Brilinta) 90 mg and OxyContin together? ## According to the NIH I am not seeing any interactions between Ticagrelor and OxyContin (ingredient Oxycodone). It states that you should avoid NSAID pain relievers such as Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Celecoxib, and Diclofenac. I suspect that's due to the blood thinning properties of NSAIDs. Oxycodone, on the other hand, is an opioid pain reliever, not an NSAID. With that said, since you are looking to take a blood thinner such as Ticagrelor with a strong pain reliever, I would double check with the pharmacist just to be safe. I hope this helps!

My father suffered from a heart attack 3 weeks ago and now they put him on Ticagrelor 90mg twice daily. Up until having the heart attack, my dad suffered no shortness of breath. Once being put on this tablet he began to feel like he was occasionally not getting enough air into his airways. This would happen at any time of the day/night. It was not so much a breathlessness from overexertion but as if for a few seconds his airways were blocked. Cardiac nurses were informed and said it was likely to be this tablet and to see how it goes. 3 weeks passed and still no change in the breathlessness, however, it was getting worse and happening more often. My father had a CT scan done prior to having a heart attack and they wrote back to him to say they found a nodule on one of his lungs - the ad...

Hello. My mom just underwent an angioplasty and had 2 stents put. She is advised to take ecosprin 75 mg along with ticagrelor 2x a day along with citogard, cilacar TM 1x, and cilacar 5 mg. She has slight high blood pressure and slight diabetes as well. After the surgery she has developed very bad ulcers in her stomach as well as a UTI. She is also anemic... Everytime she takes ecosprin she becomes sick. Is there any alternative to this medication? She used to take deplatt and she was fine. Can she continue with deplatt only?

Hi, I had a heart attack 6 months ago. A stent was fitted, and I was prescribed ramipril 5mg at night, Bisoprolol 2.5mgs daily, Aspirin, Ticagrelor 90mg twice daily, Lansoprazole 15mg daily... as well as all the usual side effects i.e dizziness, cough, muscle pain, I also have swollen ankles, feet, lower legs, which I'm told is not fluid... Has anyone else had this? ## I was prescribed Ticagrelor (Brilinta) after stent placement and after 3 months had to switch to Plavix due to massive bruseing and shortness of breath when taking it. Also had the swelling , still do. Wearing compression socks does decrease the swelling if you wear them 2-3 days in a row. Good luck to you! ## ......vorder, thank you for your reply...I will look into this ## Edema, which is the name for the swelling y...

I had a mild heart atack and I was prescribed a cocktail of drugs, which made me feel like a zombie, I was extremely tired, feeling sick, couldn't barely walk: ticagrelor 90 mg., simvastatin 40 mg., amlodipine, ramipril 2.5 mg., eleprenone(Inspra) 25 mg. I discarded the amplodipine- why the dictors prescribed it together with the ramipril, if both do the same job and both have bad side effects? I also stopped the simvastatin- so far for a week and I feel better, but another doctor now replaced with with atorvastatin 20 mg. which I will have to start taking, but this one is also known for bad side effects and I was also prescribed a beta blocker- Egiloke 25 mg (Metrprolol tartrate) as replacement of the amplodimine. I am worried about the side effects: my colesterols levels and blood...

I have no Ideal wat it is I found It can sombody tell me wat it is ## Based on the description provided, the closest match I could find is identified as Brilinta (ticagrelor) 90 mg. This pill is also imprinted with "T 90", but it happens to be yellow and not pink. Manufacturer: AstraZeneca Ticagrelor is used along with aspirin to prevent serious problems with the heart and blood vessels in people who have had a heart attack or severe chest pain. I know the color of the pill is different than you described, but I do wonder if the imprint suggests that they could be from the same manufacturer? If anyone else has thoughts on this that would be great!

Cna you suggest an alternative to TICAGRELOR 90mg? ## Yes absolutely Plavix works very well without the side effects that ticagrelor causes.

Can this be taken with heart medications like ticagrelor, perindopril, rosuvastatin, esomeprazole or aspirin?
