Ticaspan Tablet contains one active ingredient: Ticagrelor (90 mg). Here's how it works:

• Selective Inhibition of P2Y12 ADP Receptor: Ticagrelor selectively binds to and reversibly inhibits the P2Y12 adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor on platelets. This prevents these platelets from activating and clumping together, reducing their ability to form blood clots.

• No Metabolic Activation Required: Unlike some other antiplatelet agents, ticagrelor does not require metabolic activation to work. This characteristic contributes to its rapid onset and offset of action.

• Enhanced Platelet Inhibition: Ticagrelor provides a greater and more consistent inhibition of platelet aggregation compared to some other available medications. This makes it effective in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events.

• Store your Ticaspan Tablet at a controlled room temperature between 20°C and 25°C.

• Ensure the storage area is dry and away from direct sunlight.

• Be sure to keep this medicine out of reach of children for their safety.

• Always check the expiry date on the package and use before it passes.

• Maintain a heart-friendly diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol as you take Ticaspan Tablet for heart-related conditions. This helps manage your Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) or Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).

• Regular physical activity, such as brisk walking or cycling, can help improve your cardiovascular health. However, always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen while on medication.
