History of Intracranial Hemorrhage: Ticagrelor is not recommended in patients with a history of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) due to a high risk of recurrent ICH in this population. Active Bleeding: Patients with active pathological bleeding eg, peptic ulcer or intracranial hemorrhage. Severe Hepatic Impairment: Patients with severe hepatic impairment because of a probable increase in exposure, and it has not been studied in these patients. Severe hepatic impairment increases the risk of bleeding because of reduced synthesis of coagulation proteins. Hypersensitivity (eg, angioedema) to ticagrelor or to any of the components.
Ticagrelor and its major metabolite reversibly interact with the platelet P2Y12 ADP-receptor to prevent signal transduction and platelet activation. Ticagrelor and its active metabolite are approximately equipotent.
Patients w/ increased risk of bleeding (e.g. patients who are likely to undergo surgery or invasive procedures). Patients at risk of bradycardic events; w/ history of asthma or COPD, hyperuricaemia or gouty arthritis. Pregnancy and lactation. Lactation: Unknown whether distributed in human breast milk; potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed infants, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother
