Ticarwick-90 Tablet is taken orally.

Ticarwick-90 Tablet contains ticagrelor (90 mg), which acts on your body as follows:

• Inhibits Platelet Activation and Aggregation: Ticagrelor binds reversibly to the P2Y12 receptors on platelets, which prevents adenosine diphosphate (ADP) from activating these receptors. ADP is a substance that makes your blood platelets "sticky" and prone to clotting.

• Promotes Blood Flow: By reducing the "stickiness" of platelets and their ability to clump together, ticagrelor helps to maintain blood flow to the heart and brain. This action decreases the likelihood of an arterial blockage that could cause a heart attack or ischemic stroke.

• Keep Ticarwick-90 Tablet in its original package to shield it from moisture.

• Store at room temperature.

• Do not expose the medicine to excessive light or heat.

• Always keep Ticarwick-90 Tablet out of the reach of children.

• Make sure to use the medicine before the expiry date printed on the pack.

• To help manage Acute Coronary Syndrome (heart disease), consider a diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol to support heart health. This includes lean meats, plenty of fruits and vegetables, and whole grains.

• Regular moderate-intensity exercise, like brisk walking or cycling, can boost cardiovascular health. However, always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regime.
