Tikleen 60 Tablet 10 contains Ticagrelor (60 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Platelet aggregation inhibition: Ticagrelor prevents blood platelets from sticking together and forming clots by blocking specific receptors called P2Y12 on the surface of platelets.

• Receptor binding: It reversibly binds to P2Y12 receptors, which means the effect is temporary and can be reversed, unlike some other antiplatelet medicines.

• ADP blockade: Ticagrelor prevents a substance called adenosine diphosphate (ADP) from activating the P2Y12 receptor, which would otherwise signal platelets to clump together.

• Blood flow improvement: By preventing unwanted blood clots, ticagrelor helps maintain proper blood flow through your arteries, particularly those supplying your heart with oxygen-rich blood.
