Ticaford 90 Tablet 14 contains ticagrelor (90 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Blocks P2Y12 receptors: Ticagrelor blocks specific receptors called P2Y12 on the surface of platelets, which are tiny blood cells involved in clotting.

• Inhibits platelet aggregation: By blocking these receptors, the medicine prevents platelets from sticking together, reducing the formation of harmful blood clots that could potentially block arteries.

• Helps maintain blood flow: This action helps maintain proper blood flow throughout your cardiovascular system, particularly through the arteries that supply blood to your heart and brain.

• Rapid antiplatelet effect: The medicine begins working within 30 minutes to 2 hours after you take it, providing relatively quick protection against unwanted blood clot formation.
