Is ticagrelor same as Plavix ?
Jun 7,2024
Ticagrelor is an antiplatelet medicine. It makes your blood flow through your veins more easily. This means your blood will be less likely to make a dangerous blood clot. Taking ticagrelor can help prevent blood clots if you have an increased risk of having them.
Brilinta (ticagrelor) and Plavix (clopidogrel) are used to prevent blood clots in patients with heart issues and reduce the risk of having a stroke, severe heart problems, or death. Using PLATO clinical trial figures, Brilinta appeared to work better than clopidogrel, as Brilinta had 1.9% fewer deaths in the first year of treatment from CV issues, MI or stroke.
Like all medications, they both have side effects; the most commonly discussed side effect is bleeding for both medicines due to their effects on reducing blood clotting. There are several different studies measuring the bleeding side effect, but the different studies have different severity of bleeding categories and different ways of measuring this side effect. This makes it hard to compare which one has more bleeding side effects.
Brilinta patients have a higher level of breathing difficulties (dyspnea) when compared to Plavix.
