Faq for medicine:
Q: What is Brilinta used for?
A: Brilinta belongs to a group of medicines called antiplatelet medicines. Brilinta in combination with aspirin is used in a person who had a heart attack, or unstable angina (angina or chest pain that is not well controlled). It reduces the chances of having another heart attack, stroke or dying from a disease related to heart or blood vessels.
Q: How does Brilinta work?
A: Brilinta belongs to a group of medicines called antiplatelet drugs. Brilinta affects the platelets (also called thrombocytes). These very small blood cells help to stop the bleeding by clumping together to plug tiny holes in blood vessels that are cut or damaged. However, platelets can also form clots inside diseased blood vessels in the heart and brain. This can be very dangerous. Brilinta works by preventing the clumping of platelets and this reduces the chance of a blood clot forming that can reduce blood flow.
