Brief Answer:
I would explain as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I would like to know if you did you mean to write Brillinta, also called Ticagrelor.
If you are asking about this drug, you should know that this is a blood thinner, anti- platelet agent.
It is indicated in coronary artery disease, as it helps avoid cardiovascular thrombotic events or a heart attack in these patients, by avoiding blood clot formation in the coronary arteries.
It is more effective compared to other drugs of this class ( aspirin and clopidogrel).
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
I remain at your disposal for any other questions, whenever you need!
Kind regards,
Dr.Iliri
