Xygrel 90 Tablet contains Ticagrelor (90 mg), which works on the body in the following ways:

• Inhibition of Platelet Activation: Ticagrelor inhibits platelet activation by reversibly binding to and blocking P2Y12 adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptors found on the surface of platelets. ADP is a compound that normally makes platelets sticky and prone to abnormal clumping.

• Prevention of Blood Clot Formation: By blocking ADP from activating platelets, ticagrelor prevents these cells from sticking together and forming potential harmful blood clots that can obstruct blood vessels and disrupt circulation to crucial organs like the heart and brain.
