What does it do?

Ticagrelor belongs to the class of antiplatelet agents that block platelet activation. It is used to prevent intra-vascular thrombus formation and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Ticagrelor prevents platelets from clumping together by blocking specific receptors on the surface of platelets. This reduces the formation of clots and lowers the risk of blood vessels becoming blocked.
